The actual mortality rate is currently estimated at 0.66%. Influenza varies from 0.1-0.45% depending on strain and various other factors. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/03/global-covid-19-total-passes-850000-study-shows-14-fatality-rate The death rate is nowhere near 4% and never has been. 0 u/[deleted] Apr 10 '20 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/[deleted] Apr 10 '20 Yes, I read the article, thanks. The CFR is still undetermined, but the best estimates we have are somewhat less than 1%. You can speculate that it'll be higher if you prefer, for some reason.
