Coronavirus. Please check my maths

I’ve seen estimates from experts ranging from 20 to 90 % of the population will get Coronavirus. So let’s take the middle ground and go 50% . So say 3.5 billion people will get the virus. We know that 1.5 % of the people who get the virus die.1.5% of 3 .5 billion is approx. 45 million. That is 45 million people will eventually die of this virus. Does this even make sense ??!!

So I've just read the story of the first lady who died of this in Ireland, she hadn't left her home since February, she'd only been in contact with 5 people, 3 carers and 2 family members, they all tested negative, but yet she died, and what a horrible death it was😩

@SW-User someone who test negative can be positive next week even if they had no concact with anyone. Can't always be detected straight away

@MiraRoss my point is, they're negative so where did she get it from

@SW-User they may of tested negative, doesn't mean they didn't have it
