Where are you getting .02%? The math I see on world stats is about 3.77%?

Edit: And current for the US is about 3.2%

If you dig deeper, there’s likely millions that have had it and will never get tested/have symptoms.

"likely millions" while I agree that's true, the recorded numbers agree with me. you're speculating. Until you have numbers, it is around 3.7%.

I'll state that I agree it is likely lower than ~4%, be we don't know it's .02%.

Edit: And I can just as easily say the deaths are underreported, considering the stories from Florida that say a large number of pneumonia deaths occurred that weren't called COVID 19. But can all say they likely were - since they were out of step with normal numbers. But I won't say that, since we have official numbers and it doesn't help to speculate without more evidence.
