None of us are infectious disease experts (at least I am not) so I doubt we are arguing with facts or knowledge. I do have one piece of statistics to indicate the ultimate death rate may not be as high as the 2-3% quoted. Singapore has 150 confirmed cases and no fatality. That means if catches early, and with good healthcare systems, it can be managed. Furthermore, many of the cases are quite mild and likely undetected. If you include those cases in China, their death rate would be much lower.
the power of adequate healthcare, being an Island, competent leadership, & proactive response. Look at Italy for a better example
Viruses don't compound infinitely any more than sub-par traders do...especially in our age of quarantines and real-time updates. China's rates have tapered off since 2/14. There's no reason to expect it will continue growing at some exponential rate in other countries if it's been slowing down in China. No wonder so many people (especially traders) are gullible...
