Jay, 4% of normal influenza patients don't die from it. Neither do they spend a lot of time on ventilators.

The 4% death rate in Sar Wars means it's a nasty virus.

If everyone on earth had their DNA and immunity tested against it, that would mean 240,000,000 dead people and 500 million desperately sick. That's quite a lot of dead and sick people. Worse than AIDS, malaria and smallpox.

Until we see the infection rate rounding out instead of climbing, we are still in the growth phase and we cannot say the fear is overblown. We haven't had the range of mutations which are likely to happen either. Maybe a more dramatic strain will show up among the increasing petatrillions of viruses now in the battle for survival.
