"here in the United States the death rate is 1.68% of all covid infections. Meaning out of one hundred people who contract covid infection 2 will die and 98 will survive."
That's not correct. Confirmed cases are not total infections. The initial JAMA report pegged mortality at 5 per thousand, severity at 5 per 100. 8 out 10 are subclinical. That's probably about right. The insidiousness of covid is how infectious it is, not how lethal it is.

Hi @sdf2000 thanks for pointing out your information. I am using the data John Hopkins University is presenting on their website. It shows the total number of deaths to the total number of covid infections in the United States since the first reported covid infection. I understand and was not looking for the insidiousness. That would differ depending on the variant.
