I definitely won’t argue with you on the possibility that my math is off (and I appreciate the correction), but I’m looking at the official government number of 19,300,000 cases compared to only 334k ‘deaths’ from Covid.
Alright cool, so to get the number of survivors per death you do the total number of cases (19,300,000) divided by the number of deaths (334,000) which results in 58 survivors for every death.
Put another way, the death rate based on those numbers is 1.7% (about 2 people die out of every 100 that catch the virus).
