Your math seems to include the total population, most of which have been SMART enough to go to great lengths to avoid the disease. You’re considering the mortality rate.

Then consider that most of the people here are at a much greater risk than the general population.
That 5.9% claim means nothing and is only meant to panic people. Maybe 5.9% of the VERFIED infected die but the actual count of infected people is unknown which will dramatically lower the mortality rate. The only important statistic is the total mortality rate.
