If FreeRepublic cannot tolerate anything other than Zero risk

350 million population, 60,000 projected deaths.
Do the math and that works out to a .00017% chance of the average person dying from this.

That's not zero, but it's pretty close.

*************

Check your math — its actually .017%.

Its a decimal vs. percent thing.

60,000/350,000,000=.0001714 which is the ratio.

Must multiply by 100 (per cent or per 100) = .017%.

Doesn't invalidate your conclusion however.

It's a rounding error.
