Another point, always glossed over by gloom and doomers, is that the CFR right now is based almost solely on hospitalized patients. For perspective, the CFR for influenza when only looking at hospitalized influenza patients is 8% - 15%. There are likely tens if not hundreds of thousands mild nCoV cases...leaving the true CFR at a fraction of what the media (and many on here) keep hyping.

So there's two ways to look at it. Using the snake analogy, the world's most deadly snake (kills the most people) is only fatal in 10% of the people it bites; but because it's so aggressive, it's the #1 killer.
