"the global case fatality rate for the coronavirus is believed to be about 3.4 percent"
“By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1 percent of those infected,”
“You know, the risk is this: We have a brand-new virus in a completely naive population on Earth; we’re all susceptible to it. Everyone is potentially infectable with this virus,” said Christopher Mores, a global health professor at George Washington University. “Even with a high transmission rate and the low case fatality rate, that still becomes a massive number of ill and fatal cases.”
