How will we know if the vaccine is working? Will the survival rate go from 99.7% to 99.8%?

9 months into this pandemic there are still people convinced that it's all a hoax, and their only metric is death rates calculated on partial data, ignoring completely the fact that, if/when healthcare facilities will no longer be capable of receiving inpatients due to saturation, the death rate itself will match de facto the hospitalisation one (good luck surviving it without O2 suppl. if you happen to get it bad.

Go check what was the death rate in Bergamo in April.

All this of course because people with the same amount connected neurons of a pudding, led by a TV host who happened to find himself the president of a superpower, are too inconvenienced by admitting they f*cked up day by day since day one and claim to know better than the entire academic world. It'll start by defusing situations like this, hopefully.

@Elessar there are lies and then there are statistics.

@MasterLee Yeah, indeed, go check the statistics on where containment and healthcare management failed, such as Bergamo in Mar-Apr.
