"Our current best estimates tell us that about ten percent of the global population may have been infected by this virus." -- Dr. Michael Ryan, Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme, October 5, 2020.
You will hear this statement at 2:57 in the following video:
"What it does mean is that the vast majority of the world remains at risk."
Dr. Ryan does not tell you this:
The global population is approximately 7.8 billion, if 10% have been infected that is 780 million cases. The global death toll currently attributed to COVID-19 infections is 1,061,539.
That’s an infection fatality rate of roughly or 0.14%. Right in line with seasonal flu and the predictions of many experts from all around the world.
0.14% is over 24 times LOWER than the WHO’s “provisional figure” of 3.4% back in March. This figure was used in the models which were used to justify lockdowns and other draconian policies.
In fact, given the over-reporting of alleged COVID-19 deaths, the infection fatality rate is likely even lower than 0.14% and could show COVID-19 to be much less dangerous than flu.

WHO admits COVID-19 is no more dangerous than flu
All government health organizations have a vested interest in keeping the pandemic mania alive. This is a glaring example. The Executive Director of the World Health Organization does not discuss the good news that his statistics provide he instead says that the vast majority of the world remains at risk. The media is complicit in this subterfuge. The following news article is an example:
The second paragraph of the Daily Mail article correctly states that COVID-19’s death rate is comparable to the seasonal flu. The article then goes on to say:
More than 5,400 people are dying around the world every 24 hours, according to calculations based on averages in September.
That equates to about 226 people an hour, or one person every 16 seconds. It means that, in the time it takes to watch a 90-minute football match, 340 people die on average.
This news article then reaches the following conclusion:
Until a vaccine - expected for the vulnerable early next year and to be rolled out en masse by the end of 2021 - arrives, draconian social restrictions and increased testing are the only ways to curb the virus's spread.

Hmmmm...except that an analysis of the number of deaths over the past 7 or 8 months versus the same period in previous years indicates an "excess" death rate well in excess of 200,000. In other words, the number of deaths (i.e., hard numbers) from previous years, statistically analyzed, would indicate that 200,000+ fewer people should NOT have died this year, so far. Now, I am quite sure that the answer to this discrepancy is hugely complex and I do not pretend to understand. But I am suspicious of any source that does posit a definitive answer - like from God's mouth. What I suspect is that - yes, it is another version of coronavirus that is especially dangerous because our immune systems have never seen it and so we have NO immunity or defenses. And yes, deaths (in a VERY general way) are concentrated in the elderly, who generally have a diminished immune system. But I AM concerned about the reports of long term symptoms and lung, heart and cognitive difficulties that continue for months after initial diagnosis. However, until I see some numbers, I am hoping this is largely anecdotal.
