It'd be helpful if you explained how you think things really are with properly quoted sources, instead of being stuck in repeat how everyone has got it wrong. Opinions are irrelevant. Facts are not.

Yeah. I'm also not sure what not1xor1 is really on about here. It's kind of unclear. Looks like they are trying to warn us that the crisis is all much worse than we think it is, but what purpose exactly would that serve? Are we not already bombarded with Covid 19-related stuff 24/7?

part of the problem, I read, is that some countries do not count death as we do...
e.g. if people have cancer besides COVID-19 they might count is as a cancer death

in any case:

--- Quote ---Using public and published information, we estimate that the overall symptomatic case fatality risk (the probability of dying after developing symptoms) of COVID-19 in Wuhan was 1.4% (0.9–2.1%), which is substantially lower than both the corresponding crude or naïve confirmed case fatality risk (2,169/48,557 = 4.5%) and the approximator1 of deaths/deaths + recoveries (2,169/2,169 + 17,572 = 11%) as of 29 February 2020. Compared to those aged 30–59 years, those aged below 30 and above 59 years were 0.6 (0.3–1.1) and 5.1 (4.2–6.1) times more likely to die after developing symptoms. The risk of symptomatic infection increased with age (for example, at ~4% per year among adults aged 30–60 years).

Tell that to someone who "recovers" from this coronavirus with permanent lung damage.

Tell that to the tens of thousands of people who have already lost their jobs here in the past week, or the hundreds of thousands that will be out of work soon as this drags on for months and leaves closures and bankrupcies in its wake...

This is likely to really, really suck... 
(Mostly from the follow-on consequences more than the actual virus,...)

I've read various times that those people who recovered, even young ones, lost smell and taste senses and none knows how and if they'll ever get them back

This doesn't sound conveniently scary yet unspecific at all.  :palm:
