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%.
After you divide you have to convert the decimal to a percentage, which means you move the decimal place to the right two places.
This ratio (rounded) means 1.6 people for every 100 who tested positive died. The ratio of 1 in 100 is 1%, so 1.6 in 100 is 1.6%. That means 98.4 people for every 100 cases survived, or 98.4%.
You are failing at math...see post 87. Out of every 100 covid sick people, 1.6 will die!(directly from the virus or indirectly thru the activated co morbidities. The percentages match what is in my community as well) or 16 out of a thousand, or 160 out of 10 thousand or 1600 out of 100 thousand.
I’ve seen no break downs by variants yet.
