My understanding is that the vast majority of deaths are those over age 80, which is closer to 6% of the population--in line with the fatality rate we're seeing so far in the US.
I'm also not sure whether being admitted to an ICU will have much of an effect.
Why are you referring to the virus as the "Commie Virus"? Just because it originated in communist China?
That's a part of it.
But also because allot of the factors in our country which are going to make this allot worse that it need to have been, come from the American Far-Radical-Left.
* 10s of Millions of Illegal Immigrants
* American Citizens Homeless, living in tent cities because of illicit drug addiction, and economic pressures from the Obama-Era war on successful Middle Class White-Males.
* Sanctuary City Madness
* WAY Too Many Refugees
* Slow Implementation on Travel Restrictions
* Off-Shoring of our pharma production industry
* Sneering at the Ebola Near-Miss, for Obama protection political reasons, which has led to Pandemic Lax Preparedness
* Blaming everything on Trump, rather than looking at the situation realistically
* Thinking that the government is the solution to all problems, rather than personal responsibility, caution, and self-reliance preparedness
* Lack of current American Business seeing this virus threat as a way to make a Capitalistic Fortune! (Build ICU respiratory equipment, FAST!)
* Effectively Open Borders
* Down Grading of American Public Education.
Because it is possible that this virus was an accidental release from a Chinese bio-weapons lab.
Because the American Hate Filled Left is trying like hell to pin the "Blame" on Trump.
Because allot of the things that will come from the need to protect ourselves from the virus will make America allot more like a Communist country.
The more Communist America becomes, the worse things like Pandemics, Storms, Earthquakes, Crop Failure, will hurt America and her people.
There is a reason Communist Countries Always FAIL!
