Note: Very few vacintaed in the US in 2020. First vaccine became available in Dec 2020.
You forgot to multiply by 100 to get the percentage. 375000 / 331002647 * 100 = 0.1133%Yes, 99.89% is the right calculation. The 375,000 is deaths in 2020, primarily in the absence of vaccine.
99.89%
Where did you get the 375,000 number? I thought it was around the 650k mark.
Deaths were really high in January-March before most people got the vaccine. The test will be this fall / winter. If deaths are spiking again, it means the vaccine doesn’t work. People will freak out.
Note that half of people who died were in nursing homes, where the median life expectancy is only three months anyway.
Any risk numbers you are presented with you can safely cut in half at least.
So with about 4 months to go, projecting it to around 380,000 for 2021. Approximately the same number of deaths as in 2020. If so, what did vaccines do?
Those Covid for kids death numbers seem high.
Yes, 99.89% is the right calculation. The 375,000 is deaths in 2020, primarily in the absence of vaccine.
Total US COVID deaths( 2020): 375,000
Covid deaths per total population = 0.001133
Odds of not dying from COVID = 99.99%
Assumes accurate counting.
