What does the 5th amendment have to do with "western countries"? Does the US Constitution govern the whole world?

There is a major fault with that logic. You are assuming that all 760 million potentially infected are still alive. There is no way that is true. So, since these are unconfirmed, a percentage of the deaths are likely to be COVID related. Since most people in the world do not have access to quality healthcare or even hospitals, they probably got sick and died at home. Pretty hard to confirm COVID as a cause or contributor to death at that point. So, no, the ratio has to be based on confirmed cases to confirmed deaths. Otherwise, their is not enough data to support any hypothesis or count.

Of course you are correct. I am referring to relative changes being expressed in a meaningful way. Telling me that my laptop will be 18% cooler, using Farenheit, let's me know that it will be noticeably cooler. If you tell me that it will be 1% cooler, using Kelvin, I will think "What's the point?" I didn't major in a Physical Science, so even telling me that the temperature will change from 299.15 Kelvin to 288.15 Kelvin really doesn't convey the intended message. I have to go searching the net, find a Physics book, or ask a Geek to find out what the heck you are trying to say. The sad fact is I would even have that problem with Celsius. I'm not stupid, I just don't usually need that knowledge to function. Call it ignorance, but I just don't have time to retrain my brain to think that way. So if this was a professional research paper, being pitched to engineers or other professionals, I agree, it needs more precise math. Since it is actually being marketed to the average user (even if, in the case, they are geeky enough to read SlashDot), those numbers are fine. The message is "Try this, it will make your laptop cooler and last longer." Message received. And of course, I don't have an answer to the 0 degrees Celsius question. Twice as cold is relative. What's cold to you and what's cold to me is different. If you are saying that day 2 will be half the temperature of day 1, I understand the question a little better. However, it is still relative. If we are talking about temeratures on Earth, we have a different standard than if we are talking about temperatures on the moon, the sun, Jupiter, or deep space. Since Earth temperatures never come close to approaching absolute zero, we shouldn't use that as a reference for judging half or twice as much as another figure. Right? Anyway, you are right about the numbers, the are arbitrary from a certain perspective (as are most things). However, in my case, at least, the convey, what I assume to be, the intended message.
