[Per the CDC:
TOTAL CASES: 33,877,470 +39,719 New Cases (Why they do the numbers this way, I can only speculate) = 33,917,189 Cases.
TOTAL DEATHS 606,526 +329 New Deaths = 606,855 Deaths.
Divide the numerator, 606,855 deaths by the denominator, 33,917,189 cases, and you get the decimal number .017892255163, which you simply multiply by one hundred to get a percentage of about 1.78 percent. ](https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_totaldeaths)
Can't remember if this was late elementary or early middle school math, but I know I learned it pretty early.
Point is it always bugs me when people act like the deathrate is huge, when they literally give us the data and most of us learned this basic-ass math in middle-school...
