Question. Is Mousepox kept in a lab somewhere? CFR=100%
In 2001 Australian researchers and Dr Mark Buller (St Louis, USA) made a strain of smallpox in mice, called mousepox that has a case fatality rat of 100%, and the smallpox vaccine does not work against it. That means it kills everything. Mousepox is so potent that the smallpox vaccine does not work against it.…

Some of the Omicron Subvariants BA.2.* seems to be more deadly than BA.2
The Case fatality rate (CFR)= deaths/cases has risen in both Denmark and the UK, and the only think I can put it down are the new subvariant BA.2.9 in Denmark and UK, and possibly also BA.2.3, and BA.2.23 in the UK. In January the CFR in Denmark dropped to 0,05% but is now at 0.7%…

Was Denmark too hasty to declare that the coronavirus was just a flu and life was now normal again?
When Denmark’s Case Fatality Rate (CFR) dropped to 0.04% (7-day-runng average) in January 2022, the government of Denmark declared the pandemic was over. With a CFR so low, noting that the CFR for influenza is about 0.1 to 0.15%, that made reasonable sense. In early February most restrictions were subsequently lifted. It was said that…

Australia has BA.2.3. Looks ominous.
Omicron subvarinat B.A.2.3 is growing in Australia. It looks ominous as the Philippines Hong Kong and South Korea recently had high CFRs and BA.2.3. CFR=Case Fatality Rate = Death Rate
