What? There is nowhere in the world with that high of a death rate from this virus. The fact is, the more testing done, the lower the overall death percentage has dropped - and that's not even factoring in the untold millions of asymptomatic people who are never entered into the data. Estimates are that between 40-60% of those infected are wither asymptomatic or exhibit such mild symptoms that they don't bother getting tested. So what that means is that a huge number of folks who contracted the virus and recovered aren't counted
I appologize for not making it clear enough those numbers. Those 70 million to 150 million U.S. people infected represent future numbers as the pandemic plays out. If 1% of those numbers died, that would be a large number added to the 540,000 deaths we have now. With the denial I see on these boards, I am certain we will reach the population of Hawaii in deaths.
