331,080,639 citizens  134,884 deaths and we have .000407 or .04%

That math is correct. Why do we divide it be the entire US population, though ?

Why not by the amount of people that actually caught it?

How many police officers get shot at, period?

Is that enough to justify 100% of them wearing vests?

My point remains...there's a RISK to being an officer, and they mitigate it by wearing vests.

There's a RISK to catching Covid, and we mitigate it by wearing masks.

Ok, i can get that. Lets see, 3,355,457 cases of the virus,  331,080,639 (I'm sure that number has gone up since we got on this subject) Americans, that means .01013 or 1.015% of Americans have caught the virus.
Now I am not sure 1% is a solid reason for shutting down the economy or to violate someones constitutional rights by forcing them on what they have to wear. Since crime is rising, would you force everyone to carry a gun?
Here is another question for you to to either play stupid with or just totally ignore, if you are ready to force American to wear something they do not want to, are you willing to stop the protests in order to flatten the curve?

How do you calculate death rate?

You're such an idiot I don't know why I'm wasting my time. If you want to figure the death rate it's the same way you figure any percentage of anything

Would you agree that $1 is 10% of $10 would you agree to that Joe suck pack?
Here is the math to come to that conclusion

          1
        -----
         10

That means you would divide 1 by 10 which would give you the answer. So take your calculator and punch in 1 divided by 10 and you will get a result of 0.1.
Point one means 1/10 or 10%.
To check your answer you simply reverse the process enter into your calculator .1 × 10 and you will get a result of 1 thereby proving that the math is correct, $1 is 10% of $10. Math does not lie mathematics is constant throughout the Universe. So now that you know how the math works you take the number of deaths which in this case was

           134,884
        ----------------   and you divide it by the number of cases
       3,296,599

That will give you the answer 0.0409166043.
Which for the sake of argument we call  .04 percent.

To make sure the math is correct you do it the same way you did with the $1 $10 math problem.
.
     .04 × 3,296,559 =?
Try it on your own calculator and never ask me another math question in fact don't ever ask me anything until you start living in reality.


I would also like to point out that as we do more testing we will find many new cases of covid-19. If the death rate keeps dropping and the number of infected keeps Rising that will lower the  .04% death rate even further.
By the way Joe I would have thought that you had at least a high school education. How is it that you graduated high school and can't do basic math? What the hell's going on in this country?

I just received this in an email it should be a very interesting program.

TONIGHT ON COAST TO COAST RADIO:




Vaccine Controversies:

Author of one of the most controversial clinical papers in modern medical history, Dr. Andrew Wakefield linked autism to vaccines, and then experienced a tremendous fallout to his career. In the first half of Monday's show, he discussed his new film, 1986: The Act, which examines the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act that spared vaccine manufacturers from product liability and what that means for a potential COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC and pharmaceutical companies covered up findings that mercury-containing vaccines had an association with neurological damage in children, he cited. Children were getting more and more mercury-containing vaccines, he continued. Finally, it was made clear they were getting way in excess of the EPA's guidelines for even adult levels, so the mercury was slowly phased out. Because the pharmaceutical companies had no liability for vaccine damages, they became so wealthy from sales, "they could buy the politicians...buy the media, and ...buy the doctors," Wakefield remarked.

THANKS GHOST, @roswell_ghost

4%=.04 and .1 = 10% and .01 = 1%  BTW

But don't worry it's in the early stages
BWAHAHAHA LAUGHTER

So, as they don't go to work without a vest. I say we shouldn't go out without a mask.

And I pay homage to the old phrase, "live and let live."

Sorry everyone but I got some bad information according to the coast to coast website this is not going to be Tonight Show.

This is Tonight Show, and I'm sorry I got it too late to remove this post


First Half: Scholar of occult ideas Mitch Horowitz will discuss what it takes to revolutionize your life. He'll outline 13 habits that can bring you powers and victories as well as metaphysical methods to increase attractiveness, charisma, and self-worth during these tumultuous times.

Second Half: Trainer and speaker, Anne Jirsch, is a pioneer of Future Life Progression (FLP). She'll share how hypnosis and visualization can be used to discover one's best options regarding life choices as well as learn what the future holds for both individuals and the world at large.

Hopefully the right people will read this and remove both posts

Okay. So...



138,000 deaths

divided by

331,080,639 Americans

x 100,000

=

41.6 deaths per 100K people




Now let's compare it to the occupational hazard of being a Police officer


89 deaths

divided by

800,0000 officers

x 100,000

=

11.1 deaths per 100K officers


That's the official formula for cause specific death rates


So, logically, if Police officers feel the need to carry a gun and wear a vest every time they go out to mitigate their risk of dying on duty. Why can't we wear a mask in situations that are recommended to mitigate the risk of dying from or spreading Covid?

You appear to be saying it's 4%. Which is what I was saying as well...

Embarrassingly yes I got it wrong
The math was right but I failed to convert it to percentage

And I pay homage to the old phrase, "live and let live."

I agree.

This isn't even a permanent cultural change like the ban on smoking in many places because it effects those around you.

It's a temporary request to not infect others or get infected yourself when in a crowded situation.

Even in your crazy hypothetical it'd still be double the death rate of Police officers.

So, if Police officers feel the need to carry a gun and wear a vest every time they go out to mitigate their risk of dying on duty, we should wear a mask in situations that are recommended to mitigate the risk of dying from or spreading Covid.

Even with your ridiculous police analogy, it comes nowhere near car accidents. Maybe we should outlaw driving?
