COVID-19 UPDATED STATS:
- Worldwide there are only 10,212,685 persons with COVID-19. We say "only" because that represents a 1/2 of 1% (0.0554) of the world population.
- Of that number less than 1% have a serious or critical case of COVID-19. That is 99% of those who get the virus have "mild" symptoms.
In the United States, there are 2,877,604 persons with COVID-19 with only 16,363 persons with a serious or critical symptoms (possibly requiring hospitalization). That means of of those who have COVID-19 today, in the US, 1/2 of 1% (0.57) are even sick enough to be hospitalized.
As for deaths, in the United States, the average citizen has a less than 7/10th of 1% (0.06) chance of dying from COVID-19.
With these numbers the "science" of statistics tells us that the number of "new cases" is becoming more and more statistically insignificant as an impact to society as a whole.
