A lapsus on that 1%, but the point remains. Much more infected with a lower death rate could still cause more deaths than fewer infected with a larger death rate, in theory.
Also the 1-2% is considered in all cases, not only those with outcomes, but in total infected. The above could be represented as around 3% deaths in total. But still, it's very mild compared to other viruses like H5N1.

People still downplaying this????
All continents except the North and South Poles now infected.
You still think this is conspiracy theory?
Its there - yes for sure.
But people are panicking waaaaay to much.
What do you mean? What other cases exist outside of those depicted in the image above?
To recap:
It's disingenuous to calculate the ratio "death"/"infected" and include that ongoing cases in the denominator, as that way you skew the data to assume that from the active cases none will result to death.
- 8% death rate on the closed cases.
- 18% in serious or critical condition for the active cases.
Do you have older relatives? Does your work depend on you being healthy?
Those are the real questions IMO

This virus might not kill a high percentage, but you can barely breathe. Do you have a great healthcare plan??? Can you afford not working and paying 10+ days hospital bill?
Those are the real questions IMO

Exaclty. No need to panic... yetIt is not the tragedy that you describe here in Italy. I'm currently on a train crossing Italy in his whole length and I've only crossed 4-5 people with a mask. The 99.99% of the people is not concerned about it, the supermarket are not empty, people goes to work, and everything is just the same as routine. Precaution is okay, avoiding and cancelling public events on these days too, but this thing has been pumped a lot.
Let me understand - you're saying that what it says there is nonsense?

You're seriously disputing this? Based on what? Feelings?
Yeah. Luckly I'm not living in the US with their fucked up sick days and health system
You know the media. They love to spread panic and they love clicks.
Its true that the death rate is 3%. And the media loves to mention that number over and over again. SO EVERYONE IS IN PANIC OH MY GOD I'M GONNA DIIEEEE
No. 60% of the people wouldn't even notice that they had it. And even if the virus is getting you bad - if you're young and in good shape 99.98% chance you'll survive.
No, I'm totally agreeing with the info on that article 100%.
