My maths - help please

Hi all
Please don't start a bunfight over my crappy maths

I just wanted to ask

If we take the world population as

7.8 billion

The number of coronavirus cases and deaths as per the worldometers site
So cases 159,030,410

Deaths 3,308,346

What are those figures as a % of the world population?

I have tried doing the maths but my maths is not reliable!

Thank you.

Deaths/ global population = 0.04%.

Cases/global population = 2.0%

3 million deaths ( majority, elderly)....150 million births in the last 14 months.


3.3million / 7800 million x 100%
159 million /7800 million x 100%

Without sounding pompous knock at least three zeros off all your figures than input to your calculator and it should be easy. People get confused by lots of zeros. You could know six zeros off your figures and the result will be good enough.

I think the other relevant/interesting figure is Covid deaths as a percentage of world deaths.
There are approximately 100 million deaths per year worldwide, so currently Covid deaths account for 3-4% of all deaths.
