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 ??!!

I think the percentage of the population getting it will be much lower (20% at most). The percentage of people infected who die will be higher (2.0% to 3.5%).

Well the percentage who die seems to be a lot higher at the moment.14 % of closed cases. I know a ,lot of cases aren’t reported but even so... https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/@quitwhendone
@SW-User It is 4.3% right now. The percentage is expected to decrease as testing increases.
