Every person infected on the Diamond Princess was identified (~800 people, older cohort than the general population), and 6 people have died so far, with optimal care. That's a strong indicator that it's much worse than the usual flu, though hardly Captain Trips.
- tobias2014 7y agoValid point! This is indeed already much higher, and only sets a lower bound. So we should keep an eye on this well controlled sample. So we have a lower bound of somewhere around 1% and an upper bound of somewhere around 7% ( https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ ) at the moment. Not very reassuring.
