In Italy, the typical death rate is about 622 thousand people per year. This translates to about 1700 per day.

But Coronavirus killed 919 people in a 24-hour period ending on 2020-03-27.

Assuming it added deaths to the regular rate, you were only 1.84 times more likely to die of other causes, not 218x.

Unfortunately, those stats we can not say for sure. They have been claiming people have died with COVID-19. Not because of, and again, the mortality rate based on infection rate in endemic areas means you are 218x more likely to die of lofe than the virus. Search UK column's youtube video from 3 days ago and watch the doctor/acientist explain it. You're cherry picking data.

Here I just looked at world data.

Edit: With world data, you get a 133863/4737 ~= 28 times more likely to die of "regular" death than COVID, instead of the 218x your post claims.

Yes now add in endemic areas and infection rate which is .11% as per the new studies.

Then search UK Column's video from 3 days ago whoch has the numbers of deaths teported on the tumbnail and watch the video. There will be a doctor who is interviewed their and he has his own channel, search him and he will give you all the data you need.

Infection rate is difficult to estimate. I do not trust the studies. I use death rate because deaths are comparable between countries.

All the pubmed atufies I've tead have averaged out to around .11% in endemic areas. So, if you take into account this infection rate with the death risk, which is less than 1% for 18 year olds, and less than 1% for 45 year olds but close to 8% for 75+ year olds, that will give you the mortality rate which is 0.002%.

I'm writing a piece about all of this so I'll have the relevant studies then.
