Here’s the way I express the numbers...

(1) USA Tested - 26 million - Almost 8% of USA Population

(2) USA Positive Tests - 2.2 million - 8.6% of Tests Are Positive

(3) How many tested or positive for antibodies - Unknown

(4) Percent of USA population that is or was infected - My Estimate - 10% or 33 million Americans - Several European cities have reported an 11%-12% infection rate.

(5) USA COVID-19 Fatalities - 120,000

(6) USA Case Fatality Rate - Based on 33 million estimated infections - 0.36%

(7) Case Fatality Rate for a severe influenza season - 0.15%

(8) Because of a massive over count of COVID-19 deaths - all “presumed” COVID deaths are counted and all pneumonia related deaths are counted - it is likely that the COVID-19 case fatality rate is very close to, or below, the flu fatality rate.
