Message Subject DEATHS DOUBLING EVERY WEEK! Exponential Growth!

OP. According to your fear mongering 'exponential growth' model, the 8 Billion people (the whole Earth) will be dead in 20 weeks.
I think it's time to rethink your models, calm the F down, and stop fear mongering.

Precisely. In Canada, we have a total of 2,088 active cases, and just 23 deaths.

That works out to a mortality rate of just 1.1%, less than annual seasonal flu. Even in Italy, the death rate is 0.0938%, or just under 1%.

Taken as a percentage of total population, Canada’s death rate is just .0000006126%, almost infinitesimally small.

Hardly a case of ‘deaths doubling every week’.

The concern with coronavirus isn't the number of deaths, it’s the rate of infections (which is exponential, by the way) and their potential to overwhelm even the best-equipped health care systems, and cause people who are not infected to die of other causes for want of treatment because all the resources are being redirected to treating coronavirus cases.

This is the worst math and understanding I’ve seen. I don’t even know where to start.
