Goofy, I am going to use your source and your math so that you will understand how foolish you are sounding. Going back to your source, on May 15, 2020 (when the CDC said their best estimate that the mortality rate was between 0.2% and 0.4%) we had 1,516,364 total cases and the number of deaths at that time was 91,767. Doing your math, 91,767 divided by 1,516,364 equals 6.05%.
So at the time the CDC's best estimate of the mortality rate was less than 0.4% your source indicated that 6% of the people that tested positive for the virus had died. That alone should tell you something about your claims being abjectly false. But even more to the point, if it was 6% from your source in May 2020 when the mortality rate was estimated to be less than 0.4% and today the numbers have dropped in your source by 2/3rds (6% to 1.8%) then if we drop the best estimate of the mortality rate by 2/3rds today's estimate should be around 0.13%....so as I said I had probably overestimated the mortality rate when I said it was around 0.2%.
Goofy, I honestly do not understand your incessant desire to be humiliated over and over again. But I am willing to do it because it is literally so easy I could do it with half my brain tied behind my back (hat tip to the late, great Rush Limbaugh).
