LETTER: Do the math on coronavirus deaths

Yes, there are a lot of people getting the virus. Yes, there are a lot of people dying, which is a tragedy. But why isn’t it reported that there is a 98 percent recovery rate? That’s the rate in the United States and around the world. The math is from the numbers reported daily in the Review-Journal. Granted, Nevada’s recovery rate is 97.8 percent, but those are odds that the public needs to be aware of.
