About 56% of the confirmed cases have recovered. Leaving out the notable bungles where people were let loose before they had actually recovered and then relapsed, taking a few more along for the ride.

About 40% of the cases are still unresolved.

So, using the ‘but flu’ logic that is often applied here to minimize the danger, it looks like you have a solid 56% chance of surviving - recoveries divided by confirmed cases.

Within the USA, about 1.4% of the cases have recovered and about 95% of the cases are still unresolved, so you have a glorious 1.4% chance of surviving!

(That’s not how these calculations are actually performed, but I am illustrating a point. The actual basic stats are accurate, just not the conclusions. But that’s how the complacents are arguing this.)
