My math is flawless because I am actually looking at the real numbers that really matter.  The real mortality rate is around 0.2% (yes, I mistyped it with an extra zero) which is consistent with the ordinary flu mortality rate.  Your number is utterly meaningless because it tells us nothing.  What people want to know and what decisions should be based on is this question: If I am infected with the ChiCom virus what is the potential mortality rate?  Answer overall is 0.2%.  But if you are over age 65, are obese, have hypertension, COPD or other co-morbidities you are at greater risk of succumbing to the virus.  If you are young and healthy your chances of dying are near on zero.
