I stand by my original post. (pic)

The reported 3% death rate is bullshit.

When extensive testing is conducted, the death rate falls to levels similar to those of the common flu (0.1% corona death rate in Germany).
Mostly elderly people and those with underlying health conditions are seriously affected, most of the infected are asymptomatic, which again is consistent with a low death rate. Most people with mild cases aren't going to the doctor.

The entire thing is a repeat of the 2009 Swine Flu panic which started with a reported 7% death rate. The real rate ended up being less than 0.09%, which means Swine Flu ended up being less dangerous than the common flu.

I hope all the financial bears, shill journalists and panic-prone hack doctors and epidemiologists are sued into poverty for destroying the world economy.

A lot of doctors prefer to err on the side of "better safe than sorry", bit crying wolf over every new virus is a terrible policy because one day we are gonna get a real world killer pandemic (ie. a rogue MARV strain) and nobody will listen to the WHO because of the 2009 and 2020 fiascos.
