IMPORTANT #COVID19 POINT:
The main statistic that's being used to determine severity is the case-fatality rate (CFR)
CFR calculation is simple - the number of deaths divided by the number of cases
Currently, that's ~roughly~ 3:97, or 3%

This thread prompted by all the people freaking out at the presumed 6% CFR in the United States That's almost certain to drop quickly in the coming days. Current reported infections probably represent only the sickest people
