The death rate for all cases included is now around 5.8% for the U.S. This does not take into account those with permanent damage from the disease, or who still haven’t recovered. You can be sick 6-8 weeks or longer with this.

You're just flat-out lying. No amount of messing with the numbers yields a 6% death rate.

Virginia’s numbers, by the most stupid method of simply dividing deaths by positive tests, are 2.8%.

We have numbers by age, and most of our deaths were old people in nursing homes. The deaths/positive for people under 40 was 0.06%. For under 60, 0.33%. For over 60, 12%, for over 70, 19.8%, and for over 80, 25.8%

The over-80 number is disturbing, given that we tested entire populations at some nursing homes, so we have all the negatives and positives. Fortunately, over-80 in virginia was only 5.6% of the total infections, because we did a slightly better job than some states at protecting our old people.
