Today we’re going to talk about the infection fatality rate of COVID-19. The infection fatality rate is basically the percentage of how many people who were infected with COVID-19 died. It’s the number of infections divided by the deaths from the infection.

Recent evidence indicates that COVID-19 may not be as deadly as previously thought. This really has to do with a lack of testing.

It was thought that about 1 million people were infected with COVID-19. But, new evidence suggests that this number is way too low by a factor of 10x, and possibly even up to 30x.

The coronavirus has a goal of getting into the cell and quickly doing damage. Once the virus is in the cell, the immune system doesn’t know it’s in there until after it replicates, and it comes out of the cell. Then, the immune system starts to attack the virus, and there is an immune reaction. At this point, B cells start making antibodies to COVID-19.

Let’s say you overcame an infection, and you get tested for it. They’re not going to find the virus, but they will find antibodies to the virus. It has been found that a lot more people had the infection, overcame it, and developed antibodies without ending up in the hospital or having any significant problems. This new information creates a completely different picture of the infection fatality rate.

0:47.0	I'm going to talk about the infection fatality rate.
0:51.0	Okay, now this is basically the percentage of how many people that are
0:55.8	infected with COVID-19 that actually end up dying. So you divide the number of
1:02.2	infections by the deaths.
1:05.0	There's a whole bunch of evidence coming out recently that indicate that this condition, COVID-19, is not as deadly as they thought.
1:16.8	And that really has to do with the lack of testing.
1:19.0	Because if you don't have the means of testing a massive population, your numbers are going to be very, very off.
1:26.7	And it's going to show a very high infection fatality rate. Right now if you look at the stats, they say that about a million people
1:35.3	were infected. A lot of new evidence is showing that this number is way too
1:41.8	low by a factor of 10 x and some other references up to 30 x.
1:47.6	And if you're not familiar with how this works, I'm just going to explain this very, very simply and very quickly.
1:52.1	So the virus has a goal of quickly getting into the cell and doing its damage and the problem is once the virus gets in the cell, our immune system doesn't know that it's in there until after it replicates and then it actually comes out of the cell and then
2:06.1	our immune system starts to attack it and we create an immune reaction and then Dcells start making antibodies.
2:15.0	And antibodies have very specific memory to certain things,
2:18.0	so you're going to start developing antibodies to COVID-19.
2:21.0	So let's say, for example, we have the infection and then you overcome it.
2:25.3	Now you have antibodies, okay, that are specifically hanging out looking for
2:31.8	this virus ready for it to come back and
