Lol. There are 1,000 cases in the U.S. - 29 deaths. So the death rate here 0.2% is pretty much in line with the flu at 0.1%.

Yawn.

Wake me up when we're back to "muh tax returns"

Yeah, but those are just confirmed cases. An unknown (but probably large, given how infectious it is) number of people with corona don't know they have it, are never tested, and recover normally. So it's less than 2.9% for sure.

It is probably less than 2.9%, or most likely yeah. Looking at South korea where they have done the most testing of any country, it shows a death rate of at least 0.7% though. That means it is 7 times more deadly than the common flu. And remember, with the common flu, there are just as many cases which go unreported and not counted as there are with corona, many people who have the flu just feel a bit feverish and carry on with their day
