I don’t know why but all sources seem to say that the death rate from COVID-19 is less than 4% which is a complete lie. It’s far higher than that yet people stopped using their brains and decided to just trust the information being given. The system used to come up with that number is cases vs deaths making it look as though the death had been at a low 5% but if you use that same formula and change it to cases vs recoveries then you could say that the recovery rate is at 21%. Plz just read it out and see if what I wrote makes sense, or at least give a good reason if I missed anything.
Explanation
Death Rate
The math used for death rate is:
Deaths / Cases = percentage result
58,004/1,076,017 = 5.4% death rate
Recovery rate
The math used for recovery rate is:
Recoveries / Cases. = percentage result
225,335/1,076,017 = 21% recovery rate
To get an actual fatality percentage you need to use this formula,
Fatality rate
Deaths / (Deaths + Recoveries)
58,004 / (58004 + 225,335) = 20.5% Fatality %
