I was replying to Dave’s post. The 1 in 300,000 figure is what he stated, as told to him by his nurse friend.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 3:09 pm Ken, where does the statistic of 1 in 300,000 chance of dying from Covid come from ?
So far USA has had 34.1 million cases of confirmed Covid and 563,000 deaths which gives a 1 in 60 chance of dying if you get Covid. (if my math is correct ? 1 in 60 seems too high ?)
Many people have contracted Covid but not become sick so never were tested for Covid. This puts the actual number of Covid infections higher than stated and therefore the risk of dying is lower.
So far Canada has had 1.08 million Covid cases and 23,400 deaths due to Covid.
Covid is far from over so final figures for Covid deaths will be higher than these numbers.

The 1 in a million and 1 in 7 million (6.8 million actually) are from your post.If you want to play the odds, a nurse told me that your chances of getting seriously sick and having serious long lasting side effects from the shot are greater than getting the virus, and the odds of dying from the virus is like one in 300,000. It's a no brainer for me. A lot of my friends couldn't wait to get the shot, and after they got it, feel safe finally after months of worry. I heard that, if you had the virus, and then get the shot you are way more likely to get sick from the shot. I have two friends that had that exact thing happen to them.____Dave
Frankly I’m skeptical of the Covid deaths number. I think it has been established that in the U.S. at least, the death rate has been greatly exaggerated. Thanks to actions from Congress, hospitals declaring deaths caused from Covid are able to make claims for substantial monies from the government. Patients dying with Covid from say, a fatal gunshot wound or terminal cancer, have been declared on the death certificate as dying from Covid. Follow the money.
