RE: And of the people who have gotten the virus only 6% of them die from it.
That’s a pretty exaggeratedly HIGH number, 6% !
That’s’ actually an extremely incorrect number. The actual death rate for those who are SYMPTOMATIC is now less than 1%. When you factor in the asymptomatic numbers (which we will never really knwo the full number) is less than 0.02%. And when figured as a death rate vs. total population- you are statistically FAR more likely to die in an auto accicent driving to work than catching and dying from COVID-19.
You are statistically more likely to contract a flu virus and die than COVID-19.
You are statistically more likely to die from violent crime...
Well, maybe. I've been keeping a spreadsheet with numbers from the Johns Hopkins site. As of last night they report 1,228,603 US cases and 73,431 deaths, which works out to about 6%. However, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the Johns Hopkins numbers.
What do you think is the right number?
