Think those decimal places are off by two since they used % as well..

yeah, came here for this. It actually is a worrisome disease for the elderly. Not any worse than any other viral pneumonia, but these numbers are off.

PhD biomedical engineer here

Fox misread these from the cdc website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html

They are off by 2 decimal places

Cdc did not report % and fox added a % to the end of the number

Eg, 70+ is 5.4% or 0.054, etc.

All journalists are morons. Even at fox.

I am an astrophysicist and also agree with your numbers and your last statement.

Edit: also, just for fun

0.0002 x ( age of America ) = 17.8 days

Can I get a link for this video please?

I previously saw the mortality rates were:

0-19: 99.997%

20-49: 99.98%

50-69: 99.5%

70+: 94.6%

Is that for Covid or TDS? Heard the latter is terminal in some cases
