It is worthwhile to notice that there are as of April 13 there are 11k weekly coronavirus related deaths according to the CDC out of 600k tested [1].
In a normal flu season there are 8k daily flu deaths [2].
The ones that are the worst affected should be in the hospital. The cumulative rate of hospitalization is 12.3 per 100k, which adds up to 39k. So that puts an upper bound on known risk. [3]
