That’s not at all a low death rate, that’s 10% of people who have cleared the illness.

If 40-70% of people catch it (no idea how that Harvard guy got those numbers, or why he thinks it can’t be contained) then that’s potentially a half billion deaths.

I calculate a current recovery rate of 34.39%, not 10%.  And a current death rate of 3.37% (deaths per confirmed cases method).

I'm talking about people where the disease has run its course, 10% of them are dead.
