From California to New Jersey, Americans are protesting in the streets. They are demanding an end to house arrest orders given by government officials over a virus outbreak that even according to the latest US government numbers will claim fewer lives than the seasonal flu outbreak of 2017–18.
As of today, based on CDC numbers, the Covid-19 fatality rate in the US is approximately 0.0127%. (41,758 deaths divided by approximately 330 million Americans).
My understanding is that mortality rates are measured as the rate of infected people. So the mortality rate should divided by the number of infected, not the population. The question is if you are infected, what % die from the disease?
