there are 3,048,000 confirmed cases in the us there are 138,000 confirmed deaths
so 138,000 equals roughly 4.5% (death rate) out of the 3,048,000
4.5% chance of death is that correct math ?
(not trying to high jack the thread & hoping Boogieman will test negative)
Not entirely, because you have to take into account the NON CONFIRMED cases that have happened, and that will give you the real number.
My friend had it, showed no obvious symptoms whatsoever, but his job was doing temperature screenings. He was a little high, got tested, was positive. Never showed any symptoms other than elevated temp. Never would've been screened unless he had to, I'm sure there are many cases like this that have never been accounted for.
also in the U.K. anyone tested that dies they are counting it as corona. My wife works with the elderly and 85 year olds and older that are literally on deaths door waiting to die then get tested for pos and die are counted as corona virus deaths even though they would die anyway
Wish all the best for you my man. Take care of yourself and family.Still no test results back but I do have a bit of an elevated temp 99.9 was my highest so far. Have a little body aches, and just noticed this morning while eating breakfast that my pancakes didnt taste like much more than cardboard. As well as a little lung congestion, so I think it has hit me some.
I am going to just take some tylenol and rest and hopefully get better soon.
