I'm all for taking care of one's health and that of others as well, but this Coronavirus issue seems overblown and, as some speculate, a ripe opportunity for overbearing government intrusion. My simple calcs to date seem to indicate that the current death rate in this "epidemic" is about one-half of one percent of the cases result in death. What is your calc? What is the usual death rate from a widespread virus occurrence?
Your calcs are well off reality. It is far higher. In the early stages of an epidemic the average victim is in the early stages. As the epidemic builds the death rate will increase.
