You have never been able to trust the Chinese to tell the truth about pathogens in the past so until we see the survivability numbers outside China it is all pretty much speculation. I have been surprised at how much they are sharing this time around now that it is out of control, but doubt we have anything close to real numbers.

One of the posted sites above had a number go 56 dead and 52 recoveries. A 56/52 death to life ratio is horrible. But like I said, we do not know the numbers who got sick and did not seek help and survived.

To get a much closer number we need to see this thing run its course outside of China, sadly.

Something of this magnitude, a real life civilzation level catastrophe, will get covered up by all governments. No government has the assets to handle the situation. Now if this was a fake, Wag the Dog crisis, they would be screaming from the roof tops. They are really good at fixing fake problems.
