3.2% mortality rate is nonsense. Every Doctor and scientists in the world knows that there is a huge amount of asymptomatic cases out there that are never tested BECAUSE THEY DO NOT GET SICK. You have to assume a number of asymptomatics in order to calculate the true mortality or fatality rate of the disease.
The CDC currently states that the current Infection Mortality rate for USA is 0.65% and that is estimating asymptomatics as only 40% which many scientists think is low.

Scroll down to Table 1. This is what our top epidemiologists say. Don't be a science denialist.
