I was suspicious from the title itself, but there is this gem: &quot;34,166,633 cases were reported and 1,018,876 have died with virus diagnosis. Interestingly, 99% of the detected cases (I assume the 34.1M reported cases) with SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have mild condition&quot;.<p>So, 99% of <i>detected</i> cases (33.7M) are mild or asymptomatic making only 1% severe (0.34M), yet there are 1M deaths.<p>It may be an honest mistake (perhaps they were looking for the word &quot;estimated&quot; instead of &quot;detected cases&quot;), but it&#x27;s hard to keep any trust in the authors doing their math correctly on more important points.
