After several weeks of the corona virus spreading in the U. S., the death count stands at 32 (almost all elderly and/or chronically ill people), that’s out of about 1,000 reported cases (of people showing severe symptoms who have come in to be tested), so considering the vast majority of the people carrying the virus show slight or no symptoms thus not coming in for testing, the number of cases could be actually around 10,000, thus a mortality rate of about 0.3%, little different than a typical flu.
