The 1st link below show deaths per million population (column on far right) in countries.
I realize political agendas distort number of deaths attributed to CV and are manipulated over/under in reporting, but it is about the only thing we have for comparative purposes.
Reported: US has 500 deaths per million rate.
Wouldn't dividing the 500 deaths by 1 million give you the % of deaths for 1 million of the population of the US (0.0005)?
Then, that number (.0005) would be applicable for all 331 million population for the US?
This is the table that I used online:
Decimal to percent Conversion
Enter decimal number: 0.0005
Convert
Percent result: .05% (This would be 5 hundreths of 1%)
This seems way too low.
Not a math person, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
A friend was telling me the death rate of CV in the US was less than 1% but this is way beyond "less than 1%."

I was also looking at death rates per states in the US (link below).
He lives in a state incredibly low & he gives me grief b/c I wear a mask when around others.
IN has 45 deaths so far, much lower than some other states.
Most surrounding states are a little higher than IN.
I told him Indy was the 13 largest city in the US so my experience/attitude is different, plus my wife is high risk & I can't be bringing home something from an asymptomatic person.
He knows of noone who has had CV, but in my different circles I do, although fortunately, like I've read on INGO, it has been mild, not unlike other viruses.
