Where did this figure come from? According to the CDC Covid Data Tracker (
CDC COVID Data Tracker) and covidusa.net (
United States COVID-19 Statistics: 31,085,251 Cases / 561,074 Deaths / 363,825,123 Tests / Avg cases/day 68,121 declined 25.1% from 14 days ago Avg deaths/day 2,034 declined 17.22% from 14 days ago (Updated Apr 10, 2021 @ 11:10am)), there have been about 31,000,000 total Covid cases in the U.S. and around 560,000 related deaths. I'm not a math major but that seems to translate to approximately 1.8% NOT .03%. Also, that rate is only those who have actually died after contracting Covid, it doesn't say anything about the number who spent weeks or even months in the hospital on ventilators, needed lung transplants or suffered other long-term ailments or side-effects from the infection.
