0.8% of the people you know die every year anyway. If all of the people you know get infected it might bump it to 3%. Not that radical in my opinion.

That 0.8% includes 'old age'. In fact, its mostly old age.

The corona virus increases the death rate from influenza 10,000X. By communicable disease, 100X?

>mostly old age

Same as corona, no?

Edit: I'm not arguing it's less deadly than something else but in perspective I think 'mild' is an accurate description.

No, for most it takes a lifetime to accrue heart disease and cancer problems. It takes a moment to be infected with this virus, and will probably infect everyone ultimately(a year or two?)
