My bad, admitted. The overall percentage of death attributed to this novel-named plague in my state is better stated in English anyways; it is just slightly higher than one tenth of one percent.
An overall percentage that matches that of a typical influenza season.
I get that you have great amounts of faith in the system. A true believer. But I still will relate just one example of death certificate fraud. The coroner of Grand County Colorado made news a while back for protesting such fraud. This coroner, representing the 15 thousand people of Grand County, was livid that the state forced a classification of a murder/suicide, that is - two deaths, totaling half of the ‘official’ body count of covid deaths in her county at that time, she was aghast that such fraud could be perpetrated in the name of science.
No medical licenses were suspended, none were revoked.
The federal government does not investigate such fraud, it does not correct the record. In fact however, it cements it as perceived accurate statistics.
Remember, White nationalism has been proclaimed as a domestic terror threat, but conversely, ‘antifa’ and ‘blm’ are labeled as just ideas that are the centerpoint of the protest and demonstrations against injustice.
You are seriously worshiping the former president to the point that you dismiss the notion that the American people have now lost huge amounts of their individual rights and liberties and instead focus that effort on the ‘blue collar billionaire’ and his job. A job that he accomplished under time and under budget, with far more efficiency and effectiveness than hrc could ever have ever accomplished.
But please, don’t let the truth get in the way of your time, effort and monetary contributions to the MAGA PAC, or whatever name Mr. I Saved 2 Million Lives wants to call it. Just be sure to get that Trump Shot.
To get a percentage you would divide deaths by infections and then multiply by 100, you have been forgetting to multiply the decimal result by 100 and getting a consistently incorrect result. The entirety of people like you have been willfully forgetting this step because it suits your narrative to claim the figures are one hundredth the size they actually are.
4th grade was a long time ago but you aught to be able to figure percentages.
Heres an online calculator to help you along: https://www.calculator.net/percent-calculator.html.
Then why do you claim your state had a very similar percentage of deaths of infected? Are you just doing the math of your 5th grade homeroom classmates?
My state was about 1.1% the country is about 2.9%
What is your hang up? I don't follow.
If I did the math wrong, the way you did it, I would have come up with 0.011...%
Since Valentine's day last year nowhere in the country has seen mortality under 1%. Many people claiming a lower mortality rate are dividing deaths by total population of a given area, this is not how you find such a number, total population is valid for infection rates but mortality rate requires deaths be divided by the subset of the effected population.
If 300k die from heart disease every year you would wouldn't divide that by total US population you would divide it by the number of people with heart disease if you wanted to find out how deadly heart disease is, if tou were trying to tell a young person how likely they might be to die of heart disease you would need to first see how common heart disease is in the given population and then see how fatal it is and average the rate of heart disease with the rate of mortality for heart disease, even then that's a sloppy way of doing it but there are probably a dozen other factors for heart disease so making an estimate for a random person accurately would require a day at a doctor's office, simple calculations are how we alert the public of such a public health risk.
But a virus can be done easily if you know percentage mortality rate(deaths divided by infections) and the rate of infection(R0). If covid has an R0 of 5 which is un-molested by any form of mitigation and a mortality rate of 2.9% the lifetime likelihood of an american citizen dying from covid would be 3.9%, which is pretty close to its mortality among seniors, but that R0 is mitigated by hand washing, infectious spread creating immunity and probably public awareness not to go out or visit the elderly when sick, it would take a big study to see how much that mitigates the R0 but factor that in and you get a much lower mortality lifetime probability of mortality.
Most of voat, much of poal, and the right in general have proven they are terrible at word problems and percentages with this pandemic, I would love to play cards or liars dice with just about anybody spouting this nonsense.
I'll repeat the formula for mortality
(Deaths/infections)100
Inside the parentheses you will have a decimal, to get the "cent" into percentage you must multiply that decimal by 100.
