We can assume with a test case of SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND, that this is representative of the entire population. Meaning, if 12 % of the US has been infected that approximately 45.6 million people in the US alone have already contracted COVID-19 with approximately 50,000 deaths.

45.6million/55,548 deaths as of right now = a mortality rate of 0.12181% or just about 1/8th of 1% chance of death.

This is the math

This is the science

Quit parroting your corporate overlords, the facts are the facts dipshit.

We can't assume anything right now because studies make their way into the media before they're peer reviewed. Some might be only 89% accurate and producing false positives, I'm not sure which study you're referencing but I know the Stanford one has come under scrutiny. The NYC study seemed to indicate an IFR between .2 and. 8 percent I think, still pretty damn high. There are problems with study too especially with selection bias.

If you want to be scientific about this then be skeptical of any information coming out right now, not just ones that align with preconceived notions.
