Hi guys,

just want to show some simple formulas:

  • Rate
  • Part
  • Base

So far so good!

  • (Part : Base) x 100 = Rate
  • Part x (100 : Rate)= Base
  • Base x (Rate : 100) = Part

So as we know the magic formulas now, let's apply it to the COVID numbers:

Deaths worldwide: 1,515,990 (Part)
World Population: 7,770,000,000 (Base)

We want to find out: (Rate) - so how many percent of people worldwide died by COVID?

We remember:
Rate = (Part : Base) x 100

So let's insert the numbers:
Rate = (1,515,990 : 7,770,000,000) x 100

Rate ~ 0,01951%

It's so easy!
But wait .. ?

We have this death-rate and these restrictions in contrast?! Does this even make sense? Don't more people die (because of financial problems/depressions/etc.) by the lockdown restrictions than by the virus?

Have a nice weekend
