CDC: COVID-19 has a 6% mortality rate: it would kill a million Americans per 10% infected. Why do conservatives want to open the economy?
If all 330 million Americans get it and the death rate remains the same, 10 million deaths will result.
Total Cases 1,152,372 (29,763 New Cases) Total Deaths 67,456 (1,719 New Deaths) https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html

It depends on the figures you use to determine the %, the right want to try to compare it to either total population, or, tests done, to keep the figure as low as possible, hoeever if you compare it to positive tests youre about right, compare it to hospitalisations and its around 12%. Reopening before the peak is passed is foolish to put it mildly, because it will simply spike again and close everything down again, catastrophically. To be fair, in America, Trump mishandled every stage, he ignored so he could get his Corporate handouts in place, then when hed enriched the wealthy, he was so far in debt, he couldnt support the workers, now, hes just trying to cause insurrection so he xan blame Democratic Governors, the workers are being starved of cash, forcingvthem to try to get back to work because they need the money, Trump fighting for his Presidency and doesnt care how many die as a result...
You statistical evaluation sucks. You are LEAVING OUT the EVER GROWING number of cases being discovered daily of people who are found to have had COVID-19 that never knew they did and the statistics surrounding how many more of them are out there. All this is dropping the morality rate below 0.6%!
