Our Chances with Covid-19. I prepared the table below from the latest data from the New York times.  So far, Americans have had a 3.5% chance of getting the disease and if you get it, a 2.2% chance of dying.  Older people and those with health issues of course have a much higher chance of death.

United States	Nov 18, 2020	Percent

Covid-19 Cases	11,600,000	3.5%
Deaths	250,000	2.2%

Best strategy is not to get it.  Keep vigilant until the vaccine is approved and you are inoculated. Avoid close contact, avoid crowds, wear your mask, wash your hands. Let's be careful out there.
