86% of 2981 deaths / 11.08 million = (so far) 0.023% death rate (still 27.2k active cases, 6.4K serious / critical)

Dumbest line in this thread so far.

What do you estimate your chances at catching the corona virus? It started in Wuhan in December btw, it had plenty time to escalate. If we can match China's response, no reason for millions to die and for the healthcare system to get completely overwhelmed. Slowing it down is key.

Anyway, it's anywhere between 0.025% (Wuhan survival rate) and 7% atm (USA stats), we simply don't know yet.

6.5% of new cases are now from China, while China still has 65% of active cases. This thing can be slowed down.
