It’s a matter of 1 in 25 people you know will die of it by year’s end.

Please. You're asserting that as a statement of fact.

Unbelievable.

Run the math then.
Show me why your numbers (of which you apparently have none) are more believable.

Lacking further details about distribution, and having no reason to believe it will be adequately contained, I have to assume it will spread like flu without vaccine: basically everyone gets it at least once. Of note: some seem inclined to spread it, like the “death cult” in Korea, I’ve seen a “if I’m infected I’m going to DC to spread it, who’s with me?” tweet, etc.

Known cases have resolved to >8% fatality rate. I have no reason to believe this will improve. Many have reason to believe it’s much worse, China stating “all under control!” while welding apartment doors shut and grabbing people off streets & throwing into boxes and opening Hotel California quarantine centers and ... .

I’ve run the numbers above. The more I look at it, 1 in 25 seems ... low.

Prove me wrong.
Please.
