People complaining the #COVID2019 death rate of 3.7% doesn't account for asymptomatic cases that go undetected don't seem to realize that's TRUE OF EVERY DISEASE EVER.

Of course undetected infections aren't factored, you idiots. That's always true. This thing is still deadly af.
Undetected cases of flu aren't factored in EVERY YEAR. Yet the flu has a CFR (case fatality rate) of 0.1%.

Yes, if you tested every last person and caught every last infection, that rate would be lower. But again, that's always true. What CFR tells us is relative danger.
And the danger of covid relative to other influenza type diseases is more than 30x higher. Okay? Get it now?
