So the US has a death rate so far of .0007 , I better lock myself in my basement , it’s the end of the world. Reply With Quote
But we know that is not true given 150,000+ people are getting sick every day now. The only way .0007 would represent a death rate is if there is not another sickness or death in US in the future.
You want to know the death rate divide the confirmed deaths by the confirmed cases. 243,387/10,675,820
=2.28%
I know there are uncounted asyptomatic cases which will distort this percentage. There also may be uncounted deaths. Is this number high. Probably but it is the only way we can compare death rates without 100% testing at this time and this Fatality Case Rate is used to compare death rates from Covid world wide

The only way this would represent a death rate is if every single person in the US has already had Covid.
