Although Covid is still a dangerous disease, this is better news than we've had for a while. From this study, and the two in California, it appears the fatality rate is "only" about .5% or 1 out of 200 people. That's better than the 3 or 4 out of a hundred we've been hearing about. Thanks for posting.
Excerpt: "As of Thursday, nearly 16,000 people in New York have died of virus-related complications. With 260,000-plus confirmed cases, the mortality rate would be as high as 6 percent. With 2.7 million cases, it would be around 0.5 percent -- much lower, though still much higher than the seasonal flu."
