Can someone do the math on how many people 22 lbs of fentanyl can kill?

From the first line of the article.

BOSSIER PARISH, LA (KSLA) - Enough fentanyl to severely affect if not kill 5,000 people.

If 1 milligram would be lethal

Then 1 kilo could kill 1 million people so 10 kilo could kill 10 million.

The LD50 of fentanyl in monkeys is .03mg/kg so assuming it's comparable to humans.

The average weight of americans is ~85kg. Meaning 2.55mg is enough to kill the average American.

22lbs is 9,979,000mg which works out to 3,913,333 potentially lethal doses.

Not sure where they got the 5,000 number in the article. LINK This articls is about a 45kg seizure which they say is 18MM lethal doses.
