The mortality figure is inaccurate. Many people have minor symptoms and are not very sick. They may infect others as a result and dont know they have covid 19. They are not tested. Also, the ability to test has been severely limited until very recently so the denominator in your fatality rate equation is inaccurate and skewed. The truth is it is lower than the 4% quoted earlier. Hard to say how much lower.

One of the big issues with this virus is that it is new and not well understood. Everyone should do their best to keep their hands clean and away from their face. Stay away from crowds. The thinking is a distance of 6 feet will keep you out of range of folks that are contagious.
