Calculate The Risk of Dying From COVID

Over what period of time? Death this month, this year, or this lifetime?
Only US postal codes were accepted, so i punched in one for Spokane Washington, but i live in Vancouver, BC. The USA is one of the most highly vaccinated countries. What if now you were in Bombay, India, instead?
My result was the same, but the survey doesn't ask if one wears a mask, social distances, lives alone in & never leaves a bomb shelter, or is a covidiot.
90210.
The survey is saying "if you caught a full blown case, without being vaccinated".
Not the odds of getting it, but the odds of dying once the virus is in your lungs.
I just read some stats.
Approx. 32M cases in the US.
Approx. 570,000 deaths.
That is approx. 1/60 chance of dying if you get covid.
If that is the case, then, it would not be not speaking of lifetime odds of death via covid19 & its ever more deadly VOC.
The odds of death would be much higher than my case (listed as 1 in 100,000) in cases where people have comorbidities, are covidiots, are very old etc. I haven't even reached retirement age.
The survey didn't inquire re state of health. If it had i expect my result would have been even better. And yet more favorable after i am vaccinated, since it is based on a USA dwelling unvaccinated individual.
The level of medical care & vaccinations in the USA is high, so my results should not be as favorable in most other areas on earth.
I assume the actual number of those who've been infected is several times higher than official figures.
Chance of death would vary dramatically by age & health status.
You just want to get your hands on an Amigo Card because you know 20 years from now it will be worth a fortune!!!!
Now if you will excuse me I have to go shopping at Longo's maskless. It is my quick buy into one of those treasured cards!
I am often surprised at public maths skills. Rather risk 1.0% chance of covid than .0001% chance of a treatable blood clot.You just want to get your hands on an Amigo Card because you know 20 years from now it will be worth a fortune!!!!

Like the people who get some dough -eg $5,000 from a dead Aunt - and decide to put it into a CD earning 6% interest rather than paying off their credit card costing them 12% interest.
Also, read the methodology. It's all population based risk so it is very general.
Actually they aren’t complete morons. They don’t pay off their credit card because they know they will max it out again.
