100% less 1.6% is 98.4% chance of surviving.
and that is for the whole population. for under 18 it is around 99.9+ survival
for 85+ age it is only around 80% survival. and it goes straight down with age. by 60 or so the death rate is around 1% — certainly enough to worry about. If I tell you that there is only a 1% chance of death if you try to
cross a busy street in the middle of the block — I would consider
carefully whether to do it?

And it’s not 1.6%, it’s .016%.
Yup, did the math again with a calculator even:
686639 / 42850746 = 0.0160239684041907
Unless I’m failing at math (which at my age, is a much greater possibility than 0.0160239684041907)
Total US deaths 686,639 out of 42,850,746 total cases of CoVID-19/CCP/WuFlu.
That means that of the 42+ million that have had it, roughly 0.0160239684041907% have died with/of it (CDC doesn’t split that data). That means you have a survival rate of 99.98397603159581%.
