  Sorry BI but I think Simon is totally right and you totally wrong...however as Simon said it depend on first instance what you want to calculate...but according the general meaning of the words that you used your math is wrong. The correct lethal rate is according the infected population, which you can only estimate as there is not a real check. The one tested in hospital are only a fraction of the infected people. A lot of people are infected but have no symptoms.

  What you estimate is only the death rate percentage of people who are in the hospital WITH covid... But is it an important number?

  I don't think so...

  The world wide ignorance about this virus was factually apparent, since its outbreak we've learned a lot in the past 3 months .

  Are you saying all active cases involve people in the hospital? I didn’t think that to the case. Someone could test positive and self quarantine at home from what I understand. If those active cases are all in the hospital, shit man, I’d say 50% could die.

  The fact of the matter is no one knows shit about it because no testing is in place to see accurate data of the worlds population, a country, state or even a small town or city. It’s all pure speculation based off 1% of data.

  I remember seeing China spraying entire cities with disinfectant, people here went into an uproar. People knew nothing about the disease yet they were projecting 2 million deaths based off of conjecture or very little facts at all.

  All the doom from one party hoping the bad news would cause the economy to crumble. It seemed as if the China had total control of one wing of the media.

  Now we have a world economy in shambles, and China set to emerge as the world's savior. Just what they wanted

  One of the crippling things that happened about this contagious virus was that China was wasn't being openly honest to its effects toward the rest of the world's population, particularly to people who had traveled to Wuhan and there abouts.

  That oppressive lack of information resulted in a lot of unpreparedness and accumulated amount of deaths to many countries.

  China doesn't care if it loses thousands or millions of its people. They sure as he'll don't care about killing off other nations residents either.

  They lend developing nations or pay for the construction of infrastructure, but in the process take huge chunks of land/ resources etc... and then move in their own people to setup huge business that will only employ Chinese.

  They are doing it in the Carribean, Africa, and South America. They opened up tons of Chinese immersion schools in the USA indoctrination children at the elementary school stages to Confuscionism and other Chinese propaganda throughout the USA. Meanwhile multiple news outlets chastise or shame anyone who calls them out for a virus they created.

  I think the cruise ships are really the best model for actual death rates. They are contained , everyone tested . No one gets or off.

  700 people infected, 10 die.

  Still 10 times worse than the flu. I am still scared.

  Cruise ships are not a good measure. Everyone is closely confined, poorer Healthcare etc... More importantly people 65 and over make up 34 percent of the population when in the actually earth they make up about 15%. So it is a pretty bad model

  BI I didn't specified well that the people tested in general (hospital or not) are anyway only a fraction of the real infected population.

  So if you calculate with the real amount of people the lethality of this virus is very low. It is a strong flue but not so much more... Nothing to be scared... Unfortunately as a strong flue old people and already diseased people could die, as each year died before. But from here to make a lock down like this... Jeeeez

  Each day people are dying from car accident... What we do to prevent? Stop driving?!?

  Each day people died or get injured for accident in their own apartment? What we do to prevent? Put in jail all the people?!?

  So as you can see the real problem are not the issue in the first place... Are the crazy solution
