I will not stop because it's not incorrect. The CDC is giving us those numbers, you are the one that's confused.

You are calculating with your UC math the mortality rate which is based only on confirmed cases, I'm talking infection fatality rate. The CDC, along with other independent studies have all estimated the infection fatality rate to be 0.2% - 0.6%.

In other words, they believe that if you get this thing, there's a 0.2 - 0.6% chance of death. Of course if you're not a geezer then your chance of death is significantly lower. Stop living with the fear of this thing killing 3% of the people that get it, it's simply not even close to accurate.
