And there's currently 124976 covid19 (which is overcounted) deaths in America,

Then the fatality rate of covid19 (in America) is 0.62% which agrees with tie 0.5-1% estimation.

Covid19 is less lethal in younger people than the flu and more lethal in older people than the flu. (See attached image below)

Elderly people (65+) make up 80% of the deaths
