Sure, my calculation is based upon published numbers. The results of that calculation will vary as we learn more and the numbers change. But I can point to something objective that I use to come up with my numbers.
The poster who asserted the mortality rate was less than 0.4% was basing this on nothing objective. It was a made up number with no basis in fact.
The poster appears to have been using CDC as a source, the same source you used for your numbers.
The CDC looked at five scenarios with a 0.4% overall mortality rate considered the best estimate. The data shows a 1.3% rate of people 65+ dying from #COVID while the rate for those 0-49 is 0.05 % https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/he...5-123459f0082b
If Trump gets his way and the CDC is cut out of the loop and statistics on Coronavirus is sent directly to the NIH where Trump can manipulate it (his whole reason for wanting this) then you'll see infections and deaths drop down to 0 a month before the election so Trump can say, "See, I told you I was right. The virus magically disappeared just like I promised you it would." He'll say that even as bodies are being stacked higher than Mt. Rushmore outside hospitals in every major city in America.
The data is to be sent to HHS, of which CDC is a division. If Trump could "manipulate it at HHS he could as easily do it at CDC. CDC is not being cut out of the loop. And CDC asked for this.
Unfortunately you are telling this to resident forum members here who all have dark blinders on handcrafted by the FED. As long as the FED inflates the stock market most of them don’t care if we are living in Zimbabwe. What we are doing to Millennials and next generation is not their concern as well. Everyone just plays stupid and looks the other way while our country continues to be plundered and destroyed.
Ben Bernanke should be arrested and publicly prosecuted for his failed economic experiment that has created the largest income and wealth inequality in America’s history. This lunatic and his failed economic policies and theories are the main reason why we are in this mess today.
According to some people here, what's a few trillion in deficits here and there lol
Houses costing an average of 1 MILLION dollars is actually good for you!
Heck, since the money is simply printed out of thin air, we might as go for a QUADRILLION dollar deficit while we're at it
The reduced economic activity from the pandemic has hit local and state governments hard. They exist on tax collections and those collections are greatly reduced or delayed. Big Data to the rescue! :
Coming to a state near you, before you even send that invoice to your customer, the state’s department of revenue gets a copy along with an electronic transfer of the taxes due.

Of course it does, especially areas that rely on sales taxes to fund things. Property taxes including rent payments too.
The important thing is to vaccinate those most at risk. With the whole world furiously working on this around the clock, we are bound to get some useful vaccines. If every 3 month, that can be accomplished if we stay fast to that priority. Millions get allergy shots much more often. And diabetics...
I agree, but it complicates things if booster shots are needed. This isn't just a USA problem, it's a global problem. Add this to the mix of increasing the supply chain to accommodate Covid vaccines and boosters? It could be a challenge. Us retired people just have to stay home and let those that are essential have the vaccines first. How long will it take to vaccinate the world? Several months? I'm prepared to stay home for over a year. It's an awful thought.

Yes, and I explained how the previous poster was using the numbers incorrectly.
The news article you link is from May, rather outdated for an emergent health issue. The mortality rate is still sitting at about 4% of diagnosed cases.
