<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 5184765, member: 83175&quot;]You are confused here - by a factor of 100.&nbsp;&nbsp; These numbers are not percentages.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not 0.003% of the infected who are dying - the 0.003 is the fraction of those dying - so 0.3%.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I&#039;m not sure where the 0.003 comes from - I followed a link to the cdc.gov, I believe posted by you, updated on 10th September.&nbsp;&nbsp; The &quot;Scenario 5: Current best Estimate&quot; has different fatality ratios for different age groups - 0.00003 for 0-19 years (0.003%), 0.0002 for 20-49 years (0.02%), 0.005 for 50-69 years (0.5%) and 0.054 (5.4%) for 70+ years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps with the age profile of the population of wherever you are, you get to 0.003 (0.3%).</p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
