In Detroit, two convention centers were set up in the spring to handle thousands of patients. Only a handful showed up and the facilities were disbanded.
Which is what the experts said from day-one.

I guess you forgot about "flattening the curve".

If you are going to rewrite history, how about giving me a Lamborghini.

Are estimates intended to support public health preparedness and planning.
Are not predictions of the expected effects of COVID-19.
Do not reflect the impact of any behavioral changes, social distancing, or other interventions.

Regarding your worldwide numbers you cannot use the entire population against worldwide deaths. If you want to show the death rate you could use # of case 40.4M vs # of deaths 1.12M. That gives you a mortality rate of .027%. Big difference from your .000142%. Taking that out further and assume 7B people got infected than you are looking at 189M people dead.
All my numbers are showing is the worlwide percentage of people kiled from Covid.

It is miniscule.
