In the Chinavirus debate, the death rate is the main number that is relevant to setting government policy. It tells us all we need to know about our ability to manage the virus in terms of its spread, recovery and deaths.
129,947 deaths in a U.S. population of 331,000,000 means .039 percent of the population has died from the coronavirus. This also means that 99.961% of the population has not died. In addition, 129,947 deaths from 2,888,729 confirmed positive cases equals a 4.5% death rate for those who have tested positive. This means 95.5% of positive cases don’t end in death.
BJ - Not just another way to look at it. The appropriate way to look at it.

Another way to look at the Chinavirus numbers...
It's easy for government to make economy-killing policy decisions, like shutting down bars, beaches, and restaurants when their paychecks are not affected.
