Crazy.
The position many government organizations and public officers have taken is to avoid using % or ratios to describe how deadly this virus really is. I would think that putting the numbers in a way as described above would allow more people to understand how serious this is and it would likely cause a panic.
I don't blame them - hate thinking about it that way.
When they use rates instead of % or ratios - most people can't figure it out (or relate to the scope/impact of the numbers)

but still some don't get it
3 states governors are now back tracking and closing things up.....didn't take proper precautions.....didn't close down...waited too long...opened up too early and bam....flooded hospitals....infected numbers up and yup the death rate too....go figure eh!
we gotta look past our noses periodically to see just how things can turn around in a heartbeat....
