No. That’s not how you do it. Those are ones admitted to hospital. Over 36,000 have been tested. At least fifty percent had it with no symptoms

7/18000 is indeed .0004

0.004% is the correct arithmetic.

The problem is that since the average time between infection and death (if it happens) is 23.5 days, you need to compare deaths to what the case count was 23.5 days ago. *IF* cases have been doubling every 3 days, as they have in some states, then that 0.004% becomes 0.9% - 9 times as high as the flu.

NO! JUST NO!

35,000 tests - about 10% of their population. 1,700 confirmed cases. 39 hospitalized (currently) with 9 currently in intensive care. 8 deaths.

No. 10% of those tested had it. Of those 10%, 50% had no symptoms.

The article says this, but poorly.
