What? How does 3800 deaths and 61M recoveries come out to statistically '0'? My calculator says that's 5.9%, and even if we take their word that 80% of people don't even have to see the doc, never get tested, that gives us another 257M in that category. Which is still a death rate of 1.2%, not very close to "statistically zero".
You use the entire population of the planet as the denominator, DUH!!!

Svartalfiar uses M to mean thousand, as the Roman Numeral. It’s archaic and confusing, but once you know that, his math is essentially correct.
I had the same type of discussion with him a week or two ago.
