They update regularly. I haven’t seen anything above 4.4% and as low as 1%. I get all the denominator and testing issues as well. Point being, I have a feeling the mortality rate is probably pretty low compared to SARS, MERS, Ebola, etc.. im wondering at what point we start moving from complete shut down to more of a risk management approach. This doesn’t seem very sustainable for long. 1

Regardless of personal opinion on the hoopla, that’s a fact. You do bring up the most intriguing point though, we really don’t know how many people it will infect. China only had 80,000 cases which is much lower than seasonal flu. If we can keep it in the hundred thousands, the numbers won’t look terrible. If as many people get Covid 19 as the seasonal flu, the deaths will be awful. Let’s hope the numbers level off, and fewer people continue to get infected. That’s the real question that has yet to be answered. We already know the fatality rate is greater than the flu. 1

It adds up when you consider that most Federal Governments around the world are projecting 40-70% of their population to get the virus.

Given how contagious it is the projections seem possible. Those models have been put together by health experts who know more about this stuff than any of us could ever imagine. The other issue to consider is that things get worse as the health care system gets strained. As things stand the US still has masks, protective equipment and other supplies. In a week or so some hospitals will be out of protective equipment. Once the rush comes, and the system is strained is when it will get bad. NYC has about 2500 available ventilators and currently around 500 people in ICUs hooked up. In two weeks once this thing has spread exponentially again, the number of people in need of a ventilator will exceed the number available in some hospitals. This is what happened in Italy where they've had to leave people to die in the hallways. More people need ventilators than are available and the healthcare system collapses. In Italy the mortality rate is almost 10% because their hospitals were completely overwhelmed with people in need of critical care. Edited March 24, 2020 by jrober38 1 1

There is no evidence that it will ever cause "millions and millions of deaths". It's been in the US for at least two months and its caused barely 500. In China, it's been around for the entire winter and it's killed only 4000 out of a population of 1.4 billion. It's nowhere near reaching even the number of deaths from seasonal flu, even in Italy, which is one of the worst countries in the world for seasonal flu deaths. If in fact CV is more deadly than seasonal flu, then it's MUCH harder to transmit, based on the much lower number of deaths. 12 minutes ago, SirAndrew said: 4,000 deaths out of 80,000 cases definitely makes it more deadly than the flu.

Everyone doesn't get it the same time. It spreads. Person A gives COVID-19 to 3 people (the average transmission based off data I've seen), who each give it to 3 people, who each give it to 3 people, etc. By the time it's been transmitted 10 times, 30,000 people have it. That's how this thing will spread. 45,000 people (knowingly) have it right now in the US. In a few days after each of them have given it to 3 more people, 135,000 people will have it. A few days after that 400,000 people will have it. In a month if the curve isn't flatter, millions of people might have it, and tens of thousands will be dead. 1 1

What I'm saying is that the numbers so far don't match the projections of the "experts". You make a great point about defining “cases”, and you are 100% percent correct. If we are saying Covid 19 mortality rate is anywhere between 1-5%, it’s probably much lower in comparison to actual cases. However, if we are saying that the mortally rate for seasonal flu is 0.02%, that is probably actually lower as well. How many people with the flu aren’t defined as “cases”? The last time I had the flu I didn’t go to the doctor, so I wouldn’t be a case. Using that metric, Covid 19 is still worse than the flu. I do agree the rate of fatalities is probably much lower than what we think. It’s certainly not a death sentence. Things are a bit hysterical right now because Italy has a terrible mortality rate. Germany’s is less than 1%. 1
