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 ??!!

The maths make sense. What's hard to know at the moment is the true death rate. It all depends how many people there are with no or mild symptoms that don't get recorded in the cases.

Yeah. I’m glad I posted this because I didn’t factor that in @SW-User

@SW-User There are so many experts and figures at the moment. The truth is we don't really know. My gut instinct is the numbers will be lower but I could be wrong.

Let’s hope so. I do think that we are just at the start of this so who knows ?@SW-User
