What is the header, “TO DEATHS”? It makes no sense.
Oh, I see. Real numbers, inexact wording on the headers. These are ratios expressed as a decimal rather than percentages.
Poorly constructed chart. Percentages shown are actually ratios and off by 100.

There is “CFR” (Case Fatality Rate), then there is “IFR” (Infection Fatality Rate), now there is HarleyD’s “SPFR” (State Population Fatality Rate)! ;-) Anyway for comparison to “regular flu” let’s use the fairly bad 2017-2018 influenza season...61,000 deaths from the flu nationwide...population for the US was about 327,157,000. Thus a nationwide fatality rate of 0.000186 (.0186%). Only states with COVID19 fatality rates lower than the “regular flu” according to these thread #’s are Alaska, Maine and Vermont. Some states listed are 10x the ‘17-’18 “regular flu” rate (i.e. New Jersey).
Here is my “Top 4 All Time USA Influenza Pandemics” list:
1. 1918 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 103,208,000
675,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.00654 fatalities per capita
2. 2020 USA COVID-19 Pandemic as of 10-31-2020:
USA Population: 331,002,651
236,101 COVID-19 fatalities = 0.000713 fatalities per capita
3. 1957-1958 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 171,984,130
116,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000675 fatalities per capita
4. 1968-1969 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 200,706,052
100,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000498 fatalities per capita

If the population of Alabama is 4,908,620, and there were only 2,967 deaths in the last seven days, then the percentage of death per population would be .0006. I could have calculated it as 00% but most of the numbers would have be insignificant and displayed as such. I could have displayed it as .06% but I thought that was a bit confusing. Displaying the number as .0006 and labeling it as percentage seem to be the best alternative.
The point is that it is statistically unlikely that one will contract the virus let alone die of it.
Based on the latest CDC numbers your chart would read,
5. 2020 USA Covid Pandemic:
USA Population:334,351,340
Total Cases*: 9,156,262
Fatalities: 229,007 = 0.0007 fatalities per capita
*Total Cases represents both confirmed and unconfirmed cases.
What I find interesting in basing this upon state population is how likely is a person to contract the disease and to die from it.
“If the population of Alabama is 4,908,620, and there were only 2,967 deaths in the last seven days, then the percentage of death per population would be .0006.”
No, that would be 0.06 percent. One percent = 1/100th.
In the Nevadadesert where there is no population, there is no covid death
The same is true for population less areas north of Fairbanks on the Dalton Hiway
Yep, and there is also the “undetected cases” total number too...(asymptomatic/mild...never tested...thought it was “regular flu”/recovered at home). That number results in “IFR” and that “case count” is estimated to be 12-15% of the total population or “8x-10x” the current “detected/tested” case count.
CFR, IFR will alway be off due to “cases”/total # of people infected being off.
USA 2020 population is estimated between 330,045,400 and 331,002,651 somewhere (2020 census data not calculated yet).

I have access to a database with millions of tests performed. These are single target positve molecular tests. After decades of lab testing i thought our false pos rate would be higher. Esp w single targets. Asymtomatic testing is positive at less than 2 percent.
The numbers dont add up in comparison to other molecular tests. Its why i will never allow a loved one to have a molecular test. Still, i thought a single target test would be closer to 12 percent false pos.
