Covid Figures Don't Lie. Covid Liars, However, Do Figure.

Only it's not 1 percent.  The mortality rate among the infected varies country by country with 4-5 per cent at the lower end of the scale.  The Intercept explains how Trump, the rightwing and social media pundits spread false numbers to mislead the public. There are good reasons why experts such as Bonnie Henry and Anthony Fauci are at odds with this "don't worry, be happy" nonsense.

    As Mr. Twain wrote, Mound, "There are lies, damn'd lies and statistics."

    Indeed, Owen. BBC this morning was quoting America's Covid mortality rate as well above the figure Team Trump bandies about.
