When calculating the fatality rate from a virus why would you include numbers for people who don't have the virus?
It makes more sense is to count the people who got the virus and then see how many of them died. In Canada's case 1,458,471 people have been through the covid wringer and 26,890 of them died. The fatality rate is almost 2%
Globally 216,204,266 people have tested positive and 4,498,864 have died. That fatality rate is just over 2%.

Why count people who don't have the disease?
1.8% in Canada when using your numbers. The fatality rate is less, though. When calculating the true fatality rate, you have to also estimate how many people had covid, but didn’t get tested. I had flu-like symptoms last winter. Maybe it was covid. I didn’t get tested.
"Last year there were (say) 254,378 new cars sold in Canada, and Ford sold (say) 23% of them".
"That's dumb! There were 36 million people in Canada!. That's only 0.18%"
Not much logic in that.
And 36 million people didn't have covid.
