> (out of a sample of 100 people) For every one person who dies: * 19 more require hospitalization. * 18 of those will have permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives.

Assuming 19 in 100 require hospitalization, according to the study: 19% of 19 will have heart damage or 3.61. Similar breakdown for other points.

Disclaimer: shutdown was the right call and the point is still valid with smaller numbers (they’re still huge). Just pointing it out.
