It's not, That's why I've calmed down a lot about it. The numbers are going to climb and more people are going to pass away, But, This is no more deadly than a new type of Cold, In Fact, A cold is a coronavirus. Seen here A to Z: Coronavirus (for Parents) - Nemours
What this is, Is a new type of cold going around, And Keep in mind, We can't even cure the original common cold, Which is also a coronavirus. People are freaking out over a new cold. I've studied this. I've surmised this, I've analytically researched this.
Here is what's gonna happen. People are going to catch this. Once you catch it. You are granted a certain form of immunity to it. You may catch it again. but it won't be as severe the second time, Eventually, you will become totally immune to it. It's literally not going to disappear, People are going to become immune to this with exposure. Like other common bugs. And Make no mistake. This coronaVirus is no more deadly than any other flu or cold, It's simply new. With time, People will have an immunity to this thing and it will be a nothing virus. And People can say, But people are dying.
To that, I say, Not very many. This coronavirus is simply a bug, This isn't like Ebola, Or the bubonic plague, It's not killing almost everyone it comes into contact with. People should Respect that for older or compromised people, And even random people This can be Deadly, But The numbers clearly show, By A LARGE MARGIN. Most people survive this and then have a stronger immunity to it as a result. Times are hard right now, People are scared, But This is a problem that "WIll GO AWAY" in time.
I applaud that you Are preaching Truth And Trying to keep people calm, It took a spiritual revelation to calm me down. And people shouldn't panic because By far, Most people are going to be just fine.

The History Of Coronaviruses
A novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified. The virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold. A diagnosis with coronavirus 229E, NL63, OC43, or HKU1 is not the same as a COVID-19 diagnosis. Patients with COVID-19 will be evaluated and cared for differently than patients with common coronavirus diagnosis.
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that are typically mild, such as the common cold, though rarer forms such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 can be lethal. Symptoms vary in other species: in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections. Coronaviruses (CoVs), a genus of the Coronaviridae family.
Coronaviridae
Coronaviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses. The viral genome is 26–32 kilobases in length. The particles are typically decorated with large (~20 nm), club- or petal-shaped surface projections (the "peplomers" or "spikes"), which in electron micrographs of spherical particles create an image reminiscent of the solar corona. The newest addition is the SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan 2020 nCOV), showing so far a lower mortality rate than the MERS- and SARS-coronavirus members.
The first human coronavirus (HCoV) appeared in reports in the mid-1960s and was isolated from persons with the common cold. Two species were first detected: HCoV-229E and subsequently HCoV-OC43. Since then, more species were described.

7:SARS-CoV-2 (the novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19)
People around the world commonly get infected with human coronaviruses 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1.
Sometimes coronaviruses that infect animals can evolve and make people sick and become a new human coronavirus. Three recent examples of this are 2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV.
How Does The Corona Virus Spread,
This virus was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The first infections were linked to a live animal market, but the virus is now spreading from person-to-person. It’s important to note that person-to-person spread can happen on a continuum. Some viruses are highly contagious (like measles), while other viruses are less so. The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in some affected geographic areas. Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected.

Can The CoronaVirus Be Spread Through Food, Like Frozen or Refrigerated Food?
Source: CDCP.Gov Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread from person-to-person through respiratory droplets. Currently, there is no evidence to support the transmission of COVID-19 associated with food. Before preparing or eating food it is important to always wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds for general food safety. Throughout the day wash your hands after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing, or going to the bathroom.
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from food products or packaging that is shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient, refrigerated, or frozen temperatures.
Will The Warm Weather Stop The Covid-19 Outbreak?
It is not yet known whether weather and temperature impact the spread of COVID-19. Some other viruses, like the common cold and flu, spread more during cold weather months but that does not mean it is impossible to become sick with these viruses during other months. At this time, it is not known whether the spread of COVID-19 will decrease when the weather becomes warmer. There is much more to learn about the transmissibility, severity, and other features associated with COVID-19 and investigations are ongoing.
What Are The Symptoms And complications That Covid-19 Can cause?
Current symptoms reported for patients with COVID-19 have included mild to severe respiratory illness with fever1, cough, and difficulty breathing.
What Is the CDC doing About Covid-19?
This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and CDC will continue to provide updated information as it becomes available. CDC works 24/7 to protect people’s health. More information about CDC’s response to COVID-19 is available online.

Rounding out Numbers, Rough population 8 billion people, lets round off the percent to 4 instead of a fraction. To 4 percent of eight billion. 280000000 Two hundred eighty million people.
It seems like a lot, And it is, But, That is 4 percent of 8 billion.
I'm gonna try not to think about this stuff for a while. it's been a roller coaster of panic attacks and trying to make myself feel better, and The numbers just keep climbing. This has now become a subject that doesn't belong in my bubble. I'm gonna go pretend it isn't happening. People can think I'm crazy all they want. But, I'm not gonna freak out about this. Life is already too short to spend it all cowering in fear. I'm gonna go play Zelda And get high and pretend bad shit doesn't happen.

4 percent means 1 in 25 die...
It is very likely we will each know someone who doesn't make it, and each of us probably will know someone else that has a rough go.
But it is also likely most of us will have only mild symptoms and go on without much trouble.
I will remain optimistic, but the possibility of death and suffering does not go away from my mind either.

Amazon employee in Seattle tests positive for coronavirus
Published: Mar 4, 2020 4:05 a.m. ET
An Amazon.com AMZN, +1.89% employee in Seattle has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to an internal memo obtained by The Guardian newspaper and other media outlets. The employee, who works in the Brazil building, blocks from the Amazon Spheres greenhouse domes, went home on Feb. 25 after feeling ill. The state of Washington has seen a serious outbreak of the virus, with several deaths in King County linked to a nursing home. The e-commerce giant has instructed workers who were in close contact with the employee to stay at home and watch for symptoms, seeking medical attention if needed. "We're supporting the affected employee who is in quarantine," said an Amazon spokesman in an emailed statement to MarketWatch.

Some things to remember, Age and preexisting health play a major part in this. for some reason, Cases of Covid-19 in Children are very low, and in those instances when they did become infected symptoms are minor and they recover quickly. The new coronavirus has sickened very few children, puzzling experts
To quote the article. "We simply do not understand why': Coronavirus is sparing children, puzzling experts"
When we find out why Children are nearly immune to this we will be better armed to fight this.

Been doing analytics on this for a month now, And I made that same mistake, You are tallying the score with those who have recovered and also died, But you are not counting the currently infected. You have to sum total the infected as a whole to get an accurate percentage toll brother, I've made this same mistake earlier this month.

True... that's why I said, by these numbers...
I hope as things progress, the percentage of deaths go lower.
And better than last week which was 7 percent by that calculation.

I've learned to trust analytics. What's so scary right now is the death Toll in America, Nine Dead to Eight Recovered.
I hate to play down their age and infirmity, but. seven of those deaths in the U.S was from that Nursing Home where the outbreak in Washington Began. These were old sick people already. In Nursing homes for infirm health.
The Analytics will even out. To be honest, I hate to make a prophetic call, But I expect to see about five to seven recoveries today. I wouldn't be shocked if the recovery/ Death was 16 recovered to maybe 1o dead total by this time tomorrow.

Exactly, While Factually, The Number of Deaths is rising, People tend to only think of the Death aspect of the Virus. But At 3.4 percent. As the Cases of infected and recovered rise. We are going to see this divide widen. More Cases, More recoveries.
Think about it like this. As no one else seems to have done this, 3 percent isn't very much, Sure for a Virus it seems scary But, Here are the Analytical Top Killers, We face each day we wake up.
22% Cancer
2% Kidney Disease
2% FLU And Pneumonia
3% diabetes
4% Alzheimers Disease
5% Strokes
We Face Death Every Moment without ceasing. With Each Breath We draw, We won't Bow down to the 1% So Why Should We Fear The 3%?

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
We can not and Should not live in fear. We all have people that look to us for strength. It's time to be strong.
