Compared to Obama Trump is a saint. However, this scary named virus is barely worse than most flu strains. In South Korea which is a good example of modern society and with reasonable healthcare the death rate is .05%. And they haven’t really begun the newer treatments. The .05% is comparable to a lot of flu strains. 75% of their deaths have been patients over 65 years old (typical for the flu). For the younger population, the death rate is .002% Better than a lot of flu strains in this age group.
President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic (H1N1). By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.
Calculate it using the number of people who have run the full course of the disease (recovered and dead) and report your honest results, please? 38.6%
Even if S. Korea adds no more cases to their present 3,150, their death rate is already ten times your .05% number.
16/3,150 = .0051, or just over 0.5%.
