As I said on another thread, I prefer a bit of context when the death rate is given in order put this whole sorry episode in some perspective - there's at least one poster on this site (although not currently on this thread) who only ever gives the number, and when I've pointed out the context to him, accuses me of not caring.
It's not that I don't care, but I'm realistic enough to realise that as sad as the deaths are, ruining the economy by continuing this madness will cause more problems, and probably more deaths.
Context...
1) 0.06% of the population who have caught Covid have died.
2) 0.0007% of the population under 45 who have caught Covid have died.
3) People over 75 represent over 90% of the deaths.
4) Somebody over 80 is 70 times more likely to die of Covid than somebody under 40.
From this the sensible conclusions to draw are that we must protect the old and/or vulnerable, but for the vast vast majority of everybody else, and if they are in reasonable health, they are overwhelmingly unlikely to die, and that supposes they catch it in the first place, and with the odds of doing so at 1 in 4000, that alone is unlikely.
