WEll then we should see that 2.145% mortality rate climb soon. So far it has remained in that area, as it relates to documented cases.

Nobody spouting that 2.145% mortality rate understands how to calculate mortality.

You calculate the number who have completed the cycle dead to recovered not number of infected to dead. That number is nowhere near 2.145% and lets you know why the we have quarantines going on.

That 2.1% rate is bad math, just as is dividing the dead by the admitted.

When a disease is spreading rapidly, and it takes up to two weeks to die, in the early stages we are in you are functionally dividing deaths by growth, not deaths per illness.

Fauci on the samne program: "There are probably a lot more people who were infected in China who have not been really counted ... because they were either asymptomatic or their symptoms were so light that they didn't come to the attention of health authorities," Fauci said. "The number is probably much larger."
