Still in that 2.2ish% lethality range.

I'd take it on at those odds.

I wouldn't take it on purpose, what a curious idea you have there but should I catch that virus, with a 98% chance of coming through ok, I wouldn't worry too much.

going by the newest WHO statistics ~81% of cases are mild, ~14% severe and ~5% critical

but the virus is much more of a danger to older ppl, as lethality rates by age are:

9 and under: 0%

up to 39: 0.2%

40s: 0.4%

50s: 1.3%

60s: 3.6%

70s: 8%

80s and over: 14.8%

so if you are under 60 the chance for recovery is even higher
