Dr. Fauci made headlines today by claiming that he didn't know, where Pres. Trump got the 99% number when referring to percentage of COVID cases that are "totally harmless": https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/07/10/fauci-pushes-back-on-trumps-false-claims-says-he-hasnt-briefed-president-in-2-months/#28bf77f479d0.

According to WorldOmeters, Trump is right! Both globally and in the USA, COVID patients in "serious or critical" condition constitute indeed only about 1% of all active cases. See the actual data here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Why is Dr. Fauci unaware of this basic statistics?

According to data provided by WorldOmeters, as of Jul 10 2020, the number of active COVID cases in the US is 1,694,620 while the number of cases in "serious or critical" condition is 15,777. Thus, the percentage of MILD cases is:
100*(1 - 15,777/1,694,620) = 99.07%
#FireFauci!
100*(1 - 15,777/1,694,620) = 99.07%

@realDonaldTrump was right when he said "99% of coronavirus cases are totally harmless" ( https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/07/10/fauci-pushes-back-on-trumps-false-claims-says-he-hasnt-briefed-president-in-2-months/#28bf77f479d0), while Fauci was wrong & incompetent!
