Fauci Says there is a way sports (ie Professional Sports) can resume this summer.... this does not sound good for softball to return before fall...

Check you math even by that equation 61000/45000000=0.0013556=(after multiplying by 100) 1.36%

Move the decimal on 0.0013556 two places to the right that gives the percentage..

I guess that is one way to look at it... Like you said, it's complex. There is a risk of catching the virus. If you catch it, there is a risk of dying. Your total risk in the population would be a combination of the two. The discussion with Texas was whether the risk of dying (if you are under 60 with no underlying conditions) after infection was same as driving in the US.

The point of the lock down, so we don't have 3.8 Million deaths.

And just for clarity for those that didn't read entire thread... The 1 in 111 (Not my number, .0089 provided by Texasheat) is risk of dying if you are under 60, with no underlying conditions. If we include the more vulnerable older population, the numbers would be worse.

Sigh.......

0.0089% is not 1 in 111.
1 in 111 = 0.9%
That is what I am talking about when I say you are making up numbers. I am bowing out of this discussion.

Then my calculator is wrong LOL

Like I tell my Numerical Methods students when they complain their computer code isn't working, garbage in, garbage out

Here this is an easy check...we know that 1/100 is 1%...

 

[radness]

Lol atleast we know how all the reported graph numbers got screwed up and discombobulated.....MATH

Then how do you come to the 61000 with .136 Math has never been my strong suit LOL

Check you math even by that equation 61000/45000000=0.0013556=(after multiplying by 100) 1.36%

45000000x1.36%=61,200

Multiplying a number by anything above 1 can not equal a lesser number

45000000x1.36%=61,200

Add a zero to that.

45000000 x .0136 = 612,000

If you want to get the 61000 back from the 45000000 you have to use the fraction and not the percent. The percent is just another way of representing a fraction...

Talk about going off on a tangent (math pun intended) That said, I am stuck reading the world's most boring dissertation after I was put on the committee after a faculty member retired so explaining fractions and decimals is actually more interested than reading about bridge abutments (stupid Civil Engineers..)

612000 people didn't die for the flu LOL
