UCLA, Stanford study finds for average 50-64 year old, chances of dying from COVID-19 are 1 in 19.1 Million

Short video � �Doctors were shocked to learn how low the risk really was,�reports Pearson Sharp of One America News.
�The likelyhood of contracting the coronavirus are much, much lower than previously thought.� It is �an extremely rare event.�
�People are vastly overestimating their chances of getting sick and going to the hospital.�
�Even the odds of being hospitalized are vanishingly small, even for someone in the at-risk category.�
Compare this to the risk of dying in a car crash, says Sharp, which is 1 in 114. (I can�t begin to believe the risk of dying in a car crash is really this high.)
