2600 deaths / 77000 infected = a little over 3 percent death rate among the infected in China, if those numbers are believed to represent similar portions of the real dead and infected there. In western countries, only those who are concerned about the elderly and obese would care much.

In fact the death rate for people under 50 years old is near zero.

the virus does not care how old one is - there are man many between 30-50 who are infected or have died. some very young children also infected

Your number is way off. Or do you know that all 77M of those infected are going to be fine?

You'll get as much more accurate number if you use deaths vs recoveries. So more like 2666 / (2666 + 27441), which gives us a much more accurate (based on Chinese official numbers, so likely much higher) mortality rate of 8.9%.
