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.
Journalists are journalists because...math hard.
Exactly
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
