[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 4567014, member: 8481"] Wrong. While you did get that number from the CDC website, that 7% mortality rate is for cases that had an outcome. It does not take into consideration the millions of cases with no outcome yet, either deceased or recovered. So your quoted 7% is meaningless. The CDC has actually updated the mortality rate, to 0.2% to 0.6% And this is the mortality rate for everyone. If you are older, or have pre-existing conditions, your mortality rate is going to be much higher. So, according to the 0.2-0.6% mortality rate for the entire population, if you are healthy, your chances of dying from COVID-19 are next to nothing. If you are over 70 and already sick, you may come close to that 7% chance of dying.
