What percentage of Covid-19 patients are likely to die?
[reason.com]
A new study in Lancet Infectious Diseases makes a somewhat lower estimate
impossible to answer that question
I agree. The initial predictions are surely wrong.
The final number could be 0.7% or lower of the total infected. And of those over half will be people with at least three life threatening issues before they were infected. A quarter with two, and another quarter with one pre-existing condition. With no pre-existing conditions, your likelihood of getting killed by COVID-19 is around 1 in 100,000. You are far more likely to get killed going for groceries.

Those in the pre-existing conditions group are highly disposed to failing because of ANY passing microbe. With the microscope on COVID-19, now many of them will be COVID-19 deaths instead of "natural causes due to lung cancer, emphysema, diabetes, heart disease...."
Or more likely of getting killed by some radical ANTIFA member.
