Nobody knows, so we might as well guess. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: To be clear, that means all developed countries, in aggregate.

Mortality rates vary by country and how well their health system runs. It’s 10-11% in Italy... but many of those might have been saved in another country.

@DarkHeaven Yeah, I realized the flaw there right after posting this. I've edited to reflect that.

@BlueVeins The data I’ve seen looks to be roughly 1.5% for a highly developed health system like the US but that might fall closer to 1% even, if all positives were tested. It’s roughly 10 times more lethal to those infected than the seasonal flu but it seems to be much more contagious.
