You’ve posted death totals.

Not death rates.

Give it 6 months and we’ll have a death rate to compare to previous death rates.

I was interested in what the death rates were with the previous epidemics. While we don’t know what the end result here will be given the mortality rate of the previous ones, are we seeing anything like that now?

Middle age survive after going through hell..or minor flu.

South Korea has done extensive testing and a few days ago they calculated a death rate of 0.6%

Yes, that seems to me to be the flaw in all the talk about this virus. We know how many people have died so far but we really have no idea how many people are infected, so there is really no way to compare it to previous pandemics.
