quote:That's one way to look at it. Total deaths divided by total population is another especially since the Gov. said in his most recent presser that the virus is indeed present in every parish, we just have't detected in tests yet. No one is immune from catching it. The figure are always displayed by number of deaths in those confirmed infected, yet no one takes total population into consideration.
wouldnt that be calculated by deaths vs. how many people have been confirmed positive, not the overall population?

For the flu and for this demographers will eventually use deaths per 100000 population.
In a typical flu season the us has 15 to 20 deaths per 100000 and Louisiana has 18 to 23.
In 1957 there were 80 and in 1918 there were 300 deaths per 100000.
If Louisiana gets to 2000 deaths, that is 44 per 100000.
In 1957, there was no social distancing or cancelation of sports.
Baton Rouge has about 40 new HIV infections per 100,000. So dying from covid will be about as likely as getting HIV in Baton Rouge.
