“Biden also said that 1 in 500 blacks will die from China flu because of Trump. Did I hear that right? That sounds alarming but it is .002%”
1 in 100 is 1%
1 in 500 is .2%
1 in 50,000 would be .002%
The US population of African Americans is about 41.4 Million.
Using Joe’s 1 in 500 deaths would calculate to be 82,800 African American deaths. Current US Black, non-Hispanic deaths are listed as 25,364 (of the 82% of deaths where ethnicity was known) by CDC COVID data tracker.
Thank you for the correction. Posting in a rush is never a good thing.
