Earlier quoted context omitted.

Infected != Ill != death

Once the hospitals run out of ventilators and supplies and once the doctors are all sick themselves. Then sick-with-serious-viral-pneumonia = dead, for a large portion of the sick. Infected != sick, no doubt but we know the ratio of infected to sick over time, despite Ioannidis' disgraceful efforts to cast doubt here.

that's not what the WHO says

Can we revisit this now that it's clear how wrong John was? The US already has 6000 deaths from only 250k confirmed cases. It is assured we will cross the 10kthreshold,and likely the 100k one.

It's important to hold people accountable for their (massive, scary, indefensible) assertions.
