What is the usual death rate from a widespread virus occurrence?

You'r math is fuqd. The mortality rate is currently 2.3% based on the current numbers of confirmed cases vs deaths.1,523÷66,000 Reason to believe there are way more deaths than reported and probably way more infected as well.
There was nothing wrong with my math, but the death incident numbers reported on local TV this AM were much lower than what you stated. I just looked into the latest report online and your 2% + looks to be very accurate,
