To find the percentage, divide the smaller number by the larger number. As you can see, the number infected is a very small percentage- about .01%-- even though 1 million sounds like a lot of people. Probably more than that were infected. Many cases are mild and people don't get tested. But so far, the percentages of infections and deaths are still pretty small. It's just that they're coming all at once instead of spread out over a year, the way flu deaths are.
