If 'x' is the number you are wanting to see the percentage of (deaths, recovered etc) divide this by 'y' the population you are trying to see it as a a percentage from (cases). You will get a number that is in the form of 0.10 or 0.21 etc. Multiply this by 100 for a number in the form of 10% or 21% etc.
33,854 (global total deaths) divided by 716,101 (global total confirmed cases) equals 0.047.
0.047 multiplied by 100 equals 4.7%
From those who have either died or recovered. We need the population number in this column of 'final outcome'.
149,071 (recovered) plus 33,854 (died) = 182,925 either recovered or died (final outcome).
Of these people in the 'final outcomes' column, 81.4% have recovered and 18.5% have died.
Hard numbers. We have a saying in computer modelling... rubbish in, rubbish out. A calculation is only the result of the numbers going in. currently it is early days and these will likely change. Population dynamics are such that it might well be the case that the vulnerable get sick earlier than the less vulnerable.
In Rugby language, the fit team lasts longer to score more tries while the least fit might score early then fade out in the scoreboard. The game isn't over till it is over. Hope this helps.
Thank you. This doesn't take into account the conditions or circumstances in each country, does it. What I'm trying to say is, there are too many variables to make a definite prediction about Australia, based on those numbers. So we should maintain a positive outlook, while at the same time doing everything needed to remain safe. Let's not frighten the horses , in other words.
