I mentioned in another post that people may have the disease but are not diagnosed. But, of those diagnosed positive the mortality rate runs almost 2% not the ridiculous less than 0.01% noted by other posters.That's not actually correct, imho.
The thing is, there is NO WAY we are anywhere near to having ACTUAL covid 19 infection numbers.
We have tested a ton of people, but since the symptoms in MANY people are so mild, there has to be a LOT of poeple who are undiagnosed. Factor in that number (whatever it may be) and whatever the actual mortality rate currently is MUST be even lower.
And since it is, literally, impossible to know exactly how many people are currently infected or have recovered, that 2% will be FAR less in reality.
