Another observation - in China, almost 3400 healthcare personnel got the disease and 13 died.

That’s a fatality rate of 0.38%. Higher than among patients in Germany (0.22%). However, we don’t know - maybe in China they tested healthcare people who had clear symptoms.

OTOH, a negative here is that they were, probably, mostly younger and working age people.

I think the understanding continues to emerge that CoViD fatality may be higher than from seasonal flu - but it ain’t a mass killer that will devastate the world etc. It won’t do that. The 2-5% fatality stories were, basically, wrong.
