  Worldwide numbers – 13%

  Deaths: 359,791

  Recovered: 2,399,247

  Active cases 3,044,378

  We need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die. Deaths + Recovered is 2,759,038. Deaths/Deaths + Recovered = Death Rate.

  359,791/2,759,038 = 13%

  
  

  United States: 21%

  Deaths: 102,957

  Recovered: 378,635

  Active cases 1,276,561

  Again, we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die. Deaths + Recovered is 481,592. Deaths/Deaths + Recovered = Death Rate.

  102,957/481,592 = 21%

  If there were no additional active cases in the US and 21% of those active cases die, that’s another 268,077 deaths.

  Think of the millions of cases of corona that are not and never will be included in the active cases or recovered.

  Think of the millions of cases of corona that are not and never will be included in the active cases or recovered.

  Think of all the cases being coded as corona related deaths that really are not. Medicare is paying an additional $17,000 if a patient has CV-19 and that more than doubles if it results in a death.There is a financial incentive to label everything as CV-19. (Not that hospitals would EVER do that to get more revenue!)

  So, how many who were hospitalized or who died WITH CV-19 were labeled as having been admitted or having died FROM CV-19?

  Is the current belief or conspiracy that doctors and hospitals are lying on death certificates in order to profit from it?

  Why not state that 13% of known cases have resulted in death. However the deathrate of the disease is not 13%.

  Sorry if I misstated that. I just meant if you contract the virus, that’s the percentage that are dying from it.

  The percentage has so many variables. For instance 80 percent of the deaths in the USA are people over 65...

  So basically if you aren't very old and you don't have underlying issues you are in a very good space.

  This is the most retarded interpretation of how to calculate the mortality rate of a virus I've ever seen.

  Why not only count those who die and get a nice round 100% rate?

  Not all those who die with the virus die from the virus.

  Agree Simon these set about calculations were needed to establish an active contagious rate within a given population.

  With little knowledge of the contagious rate of the virus and the mortality there had to be an accounting to establish what kind of social restrictions were needed and necessary.
