GREAT point. Makes one really, really wonder about this “hey 80% of people just get a slight cold” line. Look at Italy: marathon runners in their late 30s/40s who are on ventilators (just an assumption, they are listed as “grave” or “serious” in Italian). Finally found a good use for my incredibly rusty Italian!

That is the point! If it's got a 2% fatality rate then that assumes that 98% of everyone who gets it lives. WHERE ARE THE FIRST HAND videos of "I survived the Corona Virus"? Even assuming China has managed to censor every single one of these then what about everywhere else?

Yeah and where are the “I just got a mild cold” videos from the folks who got it from the Diamond Princess? 700+ folks with the means to spend $10K on a cruise - most are probably pretty media savvy...
