Liver disease 1.8% Influenza & Pneumonia 1.8%, Other i.e. malpractice 24.8%.
So we are shutting down all the worlds economies over 1.8%

Worth a look on youtube.
Maths not your strong suit I take it.
The problem with this infectious disease, is that it is an infectious disease. Your ridiculous bolded statistic of 1.8% does not in any way factor COVID 19 in.
The reality is that the infection rate is exponential. If measures aren't taken, then its self evident the virus will spread through the entire US population.
To wit, lets say only 70% of the population get the virus. With a mortality of 4%, that's 9.2 million deaths in the USA alone. (327 million population * 0.7 * 0.04)
Considering the annual total deaths in the USA from all causes is around 3 million, it should put your "1.8%" dismissal in the light it deserves.
Thanks for playing.
