Yes, this is alarming especially since we have a vaccine for this and only 45% of US adults 18 yrs or older received the vaccine.
The international death rate of COVID-19 is 2%. A hypothetical comparison would indicate that IF this is not contained, the death rate in the US could be as high as 600,000. Hopefully, it will not come to this. The death rate for infected persons who are eighty years and older is 14.8% as calculated from international data.
A course in statistics using stratified analysis should be required for anyone who graduates from high school.
