In it he calls for criticism remain opposed to the policy pursued by the Dutch government. According to Francis would, among others, the American CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) claim that the IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) of the Sars CoV2 virus is barely 0.02 percent. The treatments would also be counterproductive cancer is at a standstill and the suicide rate is rising. But is that all true? well? RATING: Most of the statements in the video are false. The CDC has never claimed that the IFR is 0.02 percent, the treatments against cancer does not stand still and the number of suicides is constant. The claims that good ventilation is important and that the number of reports of depression is increasing, are correct. FACTS: In the beginning of the video, Francis claims that Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte justifies the corona measures by saying that other European and Asian countries use the same approach. "He forgets to say that all these countries are members of the World Health Organization (WHO) and therefore have the same boss." He misses the ball the first time: the WHO has an exclusively advisory role. Determine the affiliated countries still know how they deal with the pandemic, Prof. also knows. Dr. Steven Van Gucht, head of the Virology department at Sciensano in Belgium. "The WHO provides guidelines and advice, but these are not binding," begins Van Gucht. "They can help set up clinical trials will soon help with the fair distribution of the vaccines and a good one negotiation with the vaccine companies. However, they do not determine how we do this crisis must be tackled.\" Furthermore, Francis wrongly states that the American CDC - or "the American... RIVM\", as he describes it – the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) on such\ 0.02 percent estimate. So you would only have a 0.02 percent chance of dying from the coronavirus if you become infected, but that figure is incorrect. First of all the CDC estimates that the US IFR of people showing symptoms is at is about 0.4 percent, about 20 times higher. According to the CDC, 35 percent of those infected never show symptoms develop, increasing the total percentage of infected people affected by it virus death rate is around 0.26 percent. American news sites CNN, Reason, the Indian Dental Tribune and a fact check from USA Today confirm that figure. In March, the WHO based that calculation on only those tested cases, rather than on a sample of the entire world population. As a result, their percentage (3.6 percent) is much higher. Because of the ever evolving situation, that number now differs. \"To get the IFR correct calculate, you need to estimate how many people have been exposed to it virus," Van Gucht continues. "You do this on the basis of a sample of the population to see what percentage have antibodies. Located in Belgium that number at about 7 percent. So you share that 7 percent of the total population by the number of deaths to calculate the IFR.\" Professor of biostatistics Geert Molenberghs (Uhasselt, KU Leuven) and his colleagues calculated that the IFR figure in Belgium is around 1.25 percent. Several virologists emphasize that even 1 percent of a total population is very large. The video also claims that the treatments are against cancer stopped, depression rises and suicides rise, but that is also true not quite. Several hospitals announced that all vital and urgent treatments continue, including those against cancer. There is also no visible increase in the number of suicides, you know Evita Bloemheuvel, spokesperson for 113 Suicide Prevention. "That number is low has been constant for a number of years and even saw a decline last year. The number We see a slight increase in depressive complaints during this period.\" According to Bloemheuvel, there are no indications that the number of suicides during the corona crisis would increase. "If the government were to recognize that the virus spreads through aerosols, then the one and a half meter rule is a no-go," Francis says finally. Although virologists do not agree among themselves about the possibility of contamination via aerosols, there is some discussion about the importance of the one and a half meters away. In the past, dpa also carried out a fact check into the importance of this rule. There have also been numerous articles devoted to the importance of one good ventilation, which virologists also recognize. It is also true that infections in the open air - provided there is sufficient distance - hardly occurs. \--- Left: Facebook Video: (archived: Role WHO: CDC IFR: (archived: Fact check USA Today: estimates-covid-19-death-rate-0-26/5269331002/ Article Reason IFR: implies-a-covid-19-infection-fatality-rate-below-0-3/ (archived: WHO IFR: opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---3-march-2020 Article CNN IFR: estimates-symptoms-deaths/index.html Article Dental Tribune IFR: by-the-cdc-brings-down-the-covid-19-death-rate-to-just-0-26-as-against- whos-3-4/ Study Geert Molenberghs: 113 Suicide prevention: Fact check dpa: Article NOS ventilation: more-ventilation-because-of-corona.html Article AD ventilation: member states-only-meetings-with-good-ventilation~a60a0b61/ Article NOS outdoor air: especially-indoor-outdoor sports-competition-is-responsible.html Article RTL outdoor air: contamination-inside-just-as-great-as-outside \--- Contact the dpa fact check team: factcheck-netherlands@dpa.com powered by dpa-newslab | Imprint | Privacy | About:
