"The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%."

For comparison, the fatality rate for the seasonal flu is 0.1%. The coronavirus fatality rate is likely similar to the 0.1-1% figure is based on confirmed cases.

Look also at past viral illnesses, far more lethal than coronavirus. The fatality rate for MERS and SARS was 34.4 and 9.5% respectively. Neither illness generated as much media hysteria as coronavirus.

Think about it. 41 dead, allegedly in the US due to COVID-19. How many cases are there, they say like 3,000, or 1,000? I don't know, but doesn't that look like a high lethality %. The problem is there are already probably millions who have or had COVID-19. Whhich then means the lethality is well under zero.

They are purposely witholding testing whilst profiting off of fear to make the virus look far more dangerous than it really is.
