There have been 106 cases in the U.S. resulting in 6 deaths. So, for this country that means the lethaity rate is .0555%, which is less than the lethaity rate in the U.S. for the flu. Furthermore, every single fatality has involved people who had underlying health issues.

See we can all play games with numbers. But what good does that do for anyone? So why is the mortality rate higher in other countries, that then skew the numbers on a worldwide examination?

You might find some useful information at the WHO site.

You might want to move to Africa as they seem to be the least affected continent. South America seems to also be a less infected region. What do both of these areas have in common? Warmer weather. Hmm, an indication that warmer weather will most likely slow down the virus in the Northern Hemisphere, and then turn its attention to the Southern Hemisphere when it turns colder?

Determining lethailty is only as accurate as the numbers provided. If people have extremely healthy immune systems they may not even be aware they have the corona virus, and thus not seek out medical attention. That would definitely cause they lethality rate to become skewed, wouldn't you agree? My point is that we cannot be certain of the real mortality rate because we do not know exactly how accurate the numbers really are. There is no reason to be in a panic over the coronavirus, because in real terms many more people will die of the flu then this coronavirus. At least at this point in time.
