This outrageous headline which is at the top of Drudge is burying the excellent news that the fatality rate is just 1%. Estimates had been 3-6%.
This is GOOD news. And the number could go down as we test more.

Exponential growth. Zero preventive measures have been put in place by the federal government.
If we are anywhere between 1-3% we are totally screwed.

The charts I've seen show this thing plateaued in China after about a month.
We are nearing a month here in US.
We should know by next week if the US plateaus, too.

It's still 10 times as deadly as the flu, whose fatality rate is 0.1%. Your moral depravity in service of Trump is just disgusting.
~Exactly,not to mention the amnt of unreported asymptomatic/slightly symptomatic cases is beyond measurable at this point, also mentioned by Fauci...so, stats, at this point, are basically a shot in the dark. The news is actually getting better,yet,the hysteria continues~insane🙄

And it may go lower. 99% of the time these calculations are not even made until the pandemic is over.
