Welcome to rollitup. I wish what you were saying was true, but I can see you have a small problem with percentages, so let me help you out.
Right now we have 75.6M official cases of covid, and 893K deaths. We all know the case numbers are a drastic undercount, so we will just go with the total population of the US to help explain. Let's call that 350M. Round numbers are easier.
If you were to take 1% of 350M it would be 3.5M. (350,000,000 X 0.01 = 3,5000,000) Are we good so far? When dealing with percent, back when I used to tutor, I would use a dollar in pennies as a teaching tool. Each penny is 1% of the total dollar. If you need more work, this might help.
So 0.1% of 350M is 350K. (350,000,000 X 0.001 = 350,000. But we have had almost 900K dead, not 350K.
I hope this helped.
