Covid mortality rate is high enough
I am just wondering what death-rate percentage using the numbers Mr. Kirchenwitz presented would temper his attitude toward the ongoing efforts to control this pandemic (“It’s the liberal media’s fault,” letters, July 18, aspentimes.com). Is 4.09% or four people out of 100 significant enough? I am aware that sometimes figures lie but the reverse is also true.
