Read the post below yours.

I assumed from reading your post that you were on the verge of panic. Apologies if I misread.

We need more data. Our current sample size is not adequate. The USA is not going to suffer as much as third world country with poor health care, infrastructure, and lack of leadership. I am concerned but not panicked. Common sense goes a long way in staying safe.

Ok

because the CDC said yesterday that the mortality rate is more like 0.01% - 1%.


Thats a wide range. There were 34,000 deaths last year attributed to the flu, roughly killing 0.14% of patients. So they are predicting on the low end a normal flu to killing almost 7 times that figure on the high end, or about 250,000 people - not an insignificant figure.
