The daily death rate according to CDC is 869.7 deaths per 100,000. So if COVID suddenly vanishes from my mythical world where everyone who gets it drops dead immediately we can save approximately 2.4% of people per day. (4/4)

Could we just for a quick second do COVID by the numbers? The media says follow the science... but what about the data science? We're at 72,470 new cases in the USA according to NY Times as of December 19th. (1/4)

out of every 100,000 people using the numbers above 0.000219939 * 100,000 = 21.9939 will get the virus. Now for the sake of argument lets assume all those people drop dead immediately. We’ll round up. 22 people dying daily from COVID. (3/4)

That's kind of a scary number, but what about.... If we take it over the whole population 329,500,000 people in the United States. 72,470/329,500,000 = 0.000219939, not so scary now, right? So in the US… (2/4)
