When epidemiologists calculate these ratios, they use sophisticated statistical metanalysis techniques that takes into account ages, co-morbidities, death from COVID or with COVID, selection bias, patient demographics and so on.  So a simple calculation like the one you presented here, may seem to make sense to you or me, but to these statistical geeks, is not how they arrive at these numbers.   But I do see your point, Fish.
