You are misreading that. About 2% of those who have tested positive for COVID have died.
But it is true that your chance of dying if you are under 60 years of age is extremely small.
More directly from our area health care provider- up to 50 percent of those positive tested are false readings. The PCR tests are highly inaccurate , which is why everyone who tests positive is sent home and told to isolate for symptoms, of those having possible symptoms, they are rechecked, less than 10 percent of those experiencing get sick to require any medical attention ( loss of smell, metal mouth, toothaches, fever), of those 10 percent, less than 10 percent require hospitalization, less than one percent hospitalized die, and the average age of death is at 72-74 years old, nearly all have underlying conditions. “2 percent of those testing positive die” is pure bull hit. Maybe you live in New York where the figures, ages, have all been jacked with for so long. Fact is if you live in the US, a country of 330,000,000 carrying on unimpeded in your daily activities, the death rate is 0.028 PERCENT.
