Growstuff If the survival rate is 99.85 in a hundred, then the death rate is the remaining 0.15 in a hundred, which is about one in thirtysix. If the figures were publicised that way round, as death rate instead of survival rate, perhaps fewer people would be conviced that it is just a mild illness.
But that isn't the survival rate. It's more like 97 point something.
I agree that the figures could be better presented, so that people had a better understanding.
Even if most people survive, it's still like Russian roulette and that's not a game I'd be keen to play.
