Have you heard this yet?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...g-fingers-face-lower-risk-dying-Covid-19.html

Edit:

For reference, my ring finger is about 0.5cm longer than my index finger.
Men with longer ring fingers face a lower risk of dying from Covid-19 and are more likely to suffer mild symptoms, study claims

Has anyone yet died directly from Covid? I mean all cases i heard are those who have another sickness, cancer, blood pressure, lungs issues, jealousy etc :p

a colleague of mine made this table. very basic stuff: weekly (first column: weeks) nationwide death count in 2020, compared to the average of previous years (2015-19). last column: deviations.

i'm sure it's different for some more heavily affected countries like for example italy, germany, russia, usa, iran and spain, but based on the stats nobody could tell that there was an epidemic here in hungary.

Overall Eastern European countries reacted quite well. A study in Spain suggested that only 5% of Spaniards had the virus, which makes the mortality rate around 1.1 and 1.2 %. I f this mortality rate is the same for Hungary - it means that around 50 000 (because there are 500 deaths) people got the virus. Hungary has population around 9.6 million which would mean that about 0.6 % of the population got the disease. This is hardly an epidemic of mass proportion. Comparing the data from Spain, if Hungary also got 5% of the total population infected this would mean 480 000 infected and 4800 deaths. There are early studies about the infection fatality rate around the globe and for now it shows death rate between 0.5 and 1.5 %, so Spain is basically in between.

For a country like China 5% of the population would be 75 million people. And the IFR (if it is 1%) would be around 750 000 deaths.

Of course let's hope that the death rate is lower, but so far it really looks like the IFR is between 0.5 and 1.5 %.

Is there even the slightest chance of your regime not lying in any statistic?

Reminds me of Russia and their 4k deaths over 370k cases

the reported coronavirus death rate is actually higher than in some of the neighboring countries. ~500 deceased from ~3800 confirmed cases is 13%, much worse than slovakia, austria or slovenia. and since we did very few tests compared to other countries, and we're not testing postmortem (only counting those who were tested positive before they died), i don't mind our stats at all.

the point of the table is completely different. it's not a covid-19 table, it's about the country's overall death count per weeks. it shows that people die regardless of the virus, and the number of deceased in hungary didn't change too much because of the current outbreak. in other words, we probably acted early enough.

Until his death Einstein thought that Bohr's claims on quantum physics (like quantum entanglement) were ridiculous, but later findings proved that quantum entanglement is real. The conclusion is that a smart person's opinion can be wrong.
