The Center For Disease Control and Prevention released some numbers yesterday that are alleged to be actual, accurate mortality numbers on the Covid-19 virus.
Assuming they got it right the mortality rate is running at about 0.26%. The seasonal flu runs at about 0.13%. You might recall the originally the "experts" were expressing that it was extremely likely the mortality rate would run close to 10%.
If you are under 60 and you have no co-morbidity issues your chances of dying from this shit are very, very low. Your chances of GETTING it are decent, but you may very well not even know you have it.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Let's put that 0.26% figure in its proper perspective. Over 100,000 corona victims have now died in the U.S. and that number is probably way to low because of delays of up to two weeks in reporting corona deaths from state to state.

There is a difference between dying from Covid-19 and dying WITH Covid-19. I suspect there is more than a little misreporting of numbers.
