During a major seasonal outbreak of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) variant, the case-fatality rate (the proportion of infected individuals who die from the disease) in a vulnerable age group is estimated to be 0.025%.
In a specific geographic region over one season, there were 12 000 12\,000\,12000 recorded deaths directly attributed to this RSV variant in this age group.
Calculate the total number of people in this age group who were infected with this variant of RSV during the season.
