I think you mean 1% each life

Divide the number of fatalities (36,096) by the population (331,000,000) and multiply by 100:

(36,096 / 331,000,000) * 100 ≈ 0.0109%

It's easy to mixed up with the percentage conversion. Still it's really high all things considered.

It does seem impossibly high now that I did math.
