My only purpose in posting this is to be informative, not provocative.
The COVID-19 virus started in Wuhan, China, but the death numbers are listed from Hubei, China (population 57,237,740) which is a providence in China with the capitol city of Wuhan ( population 9,785,388) So since we are playing with numbers, total people infected in Hubei, China is 80,976. Now out of 57,237,740 people living there, 0.14% of the population tested positive for COVID-19. Now of those who tested positive for the virus, 3075 have died, or 3.79%.
So if you live where this all started which is where the virus has been active for the longest time, Hubei China, you have a 0.14% chance of contracting COVID-19 and Out of the population at large ( in Hubei) you would have a 0.00537% of dying from it. These numbers in China are holding pretty steady and are collected since December of 2019. They are not growing rapidly. In addition, of the 80,976 who tested positive, 52,960 are fully recovered Now.
From a global perspective, there are a total of 155,227 people tested positive. Working from a rough number on global population of 5,700,000,000, you have as of now, a 0.0027% chance of testing positive for COVID-19, and with a total death total of 5,802, we all have a chance of dying from this, coming in at 0.00010%.
I haven’t ran the statistics for America yet because China has the best numbers to work from since this all started there and has had the longest time to develop. The numbers here though, are very small. Just some perspective. The reaction to this in the US is driven by the media, and a population with no common sense, and no willingness to do their homework. They bark, we jump.
