It is way more survivable than 97%. That's just the overinflated numbers they give us. On October 5th the WHO estimated 10% of the world's population caught coronavirus. If you divide the 1,037,801 deaths by the 779 million people (10% of the worlds population on October 5, 2020 that gives a death rate of 0.133%. And that's assuming that every person that died with covid died from covid. That number, according to the CDC, can be as low as 6%, which if true, would mean that covid has a death rate of .008%. I believe the .133% number is a bit more accurate, but it definitely isn't 97%.
