It's more like 0.5% if everyone gets infected and a large chunk of them will die anyway. Might as well arrest everyone who drives a car. The virus really isn't

- coding123 6y agoWell, don't know what we don't know. We DO know that 10M people have had it, and 500K have died. That's 5%. We're still guessing everything else.
- anoncake 6y agoThis is nonsense. There have been multiple studies where everyone in a place was tested to eliminate the dark figure.

- umvi 6y ago> We DO know that 10M people have had it, and 500K have died. That's 5%. We're still guessing everything else. No, the only thing we know is that 500K have died. At least 10M people have had it. 10M is the lower bound. The upper bound could be 30M+. How many cases are asymptomatic, or otherwise just untested/unreported? 5% is the upper bound for the mortality rate. Actual mortality rate is going to be significantly lower, perhaps even <1%.
- paulryanrogers 6y agoBefore callously assuming the victims will die regardless of the virus, consider that many more may have permanent lung damage for life.
- anoncake 6y agoI've already heard that rumor. Numbers would be more interesting.
