RIGHT WINGERS CLAIM COVID HAS A SURVIVAL RATE OF 99.9%; LET US DO SOME MATH SHALL WE? IMAGINE ALL 331,449,281 AMERICANS GIVE OR TAKE WERE INFECTED WITH COVID AT A 99.9% SURVIVAL RATE THIS WOULD MEAN A TOTAL BODY COUNT OF 331,449 DEAD AMERICANS; THE CURRENT DEATH TOLL IS ABOUT 650,000 SO SOMEONES MATH IS WAY OFF; AND WHAT DO TRUMPLICANS SAY? THEY SAY MEN AND WOMEN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE SPENT THEIR ENTIRE CAREERS TRYING TO HELP THEM SUDDENLY CHOSE TO LIE ABOUT DEATHS AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS; AND WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS? BECAUSE RIGHT WING MEDIA TELLS THEM 2+2=5 AND THEY WANT TO HATE DEMOCRATS SO MUCH THEY BELIEVE IT | image tagged in george carlin,special kind of stupid | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

They also don’t know the difference between death rate and survival rate

This would assume that 0% of Americans had comorbidities, underlying conditions, or were old.

When you introduce any of those factors to the equation then the survival rate plummets. BUT, for healthy individuals it really isn't much of a threat. Sure, you have the freak cases that cripple or even kill people who were in great shape, young, etc, but people seem to forget that influenza cases did that to such folk every year.

Then we also need to factor in excess deaths. An example of an excess death is if you get into a car crash but all ambulances are being disinfected or are in use so you bleed out and die.

We can absolutely label those folks as pandemic casualties, but they're not COVID casualties unless the virus directly caused bodily death to them specifically. That would be improper data management to argue otherwise.
