Limit available testing. This artificially INCREASES the death rate. 2. Once they scared us shitless with the death numbers, then and only then did they make tests available to the public. 3. Once that happened, there were no more flu deaths to record as covid deaths so they jumped on board by scaring people silly with testing numbers. More tests equals DECREASE death rate. This man admits none of that. He won’t give up the ruse [/quote]

In short, the director of health security at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (governmental health authority), Prof. Mika Salminen, issued a statement that Covid-19 is not as deadly as it was feared in the spring.
"In the spring, it looked like the people who got Covid-19 also got severely ill. That is not how it looks like to us anymore. I also spoke with my Spanish colleagues. In the spring, 47% of Covid-19 patients required hospitalization. Now it's just 4%."
While the number of Covid-19 positive tests in Finland has been increasing for some time, the number of hospitalizations and deaths remains very low.
He attributes the decrease in lethality to improved understanding of the disease, better testing and diagnostics, as well as advances in treatment.
"People are also getting better at taking proper precautions."
He adds that he doesn't want to belittle the gravity of the disease in the case of elder people.
