Now that we’re seeing community spread, they’ll start easing the restrictions on who gets tested and that 2-3% will plummet. We’ll likely see mortality rates similar to a very bad flu year.
Given there is no vaccination against this it’s not surprising the mortality rate will be higher, but there is a 0% chance it stays at 2-3%. It wont even be at 1% when all is said and done, likely 2-3x higher than the average flu mortality rate
