The pure pie in the sky under 1% guesses are not backed by actual numbers of closed cases worldwide. worldwide https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ link updated every few hours as countries supply their actual numbers. So of 445k cases we would not look at the death rate and compare it to overall infections. After all it takes 2 to 3 weeks from infection to critical or death. Of 131k closed cases, a good sized sample, 112k recovered (85%, and near 20k died (15%).
WHO stated a 3.4 % mortality rate on march 3 https://www.worldometers.info/corona.../#who-03-03-20 but that was based on very limited numbers as of that time, on a novel virus. This is hitting people over the age of 80 like a ton of bricks. We will be near 10% death rate for those over age 80. And we have not had 1 day of total country lockdown, so comping it to china and their current new cases isnt at all same. Odd even this, a pandemic, a strain new to the planet, the expected outcomes are viewed along party lines. Trump announcing all will be peachy by easter and he hopes churches are packed at that time and we will all be back to work is a call to multiplying this disaster to insure we dont have a recovery along lines of china.
