From what I can gather, the average suvivability of covid is commonly known as 99.7% of all age groups. Can you break it down for me on how they are calculating 99.7% from the official numbers of the cdc?
Thanks.
Edit: Is this correct, deaths/cases x 100?
From cdc, currently, 37,259,886 cases 623,244 deaths.
But I am getting 1.6%, that's 98.33% (maybe 99.7% was calc from previous numbers if someone knows?).
Sidenote, we all know the actual death is 5.5% of the covid deaths they report.
Have you tried your formula with the numbers to see if it matches?
To date from cdc:
37,259,886 cases
623,244 deaths
Yes, I get 1.6% so it isnt 0.3% that's why I asked
It could potentially be lower when you account for the only 5-6% of cases actually died of covid vs with covid. Meaning someone who was terminal in a hospice gets covid and dies, that's counted as a covid death. I think at least for a while it was anyone who died within 28 days of having covid. Very few people actually died of covid and nothing else. Comorbidities and all that.
Ultimately the number doesn't really matter so much as the simple fact that it has an overall very high survivability rate, which calls into question the entire thing.
