In fact, the crude death rate is statistically 0.

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!!!
