It really depends on age. The younger you are, the better your chances.

2% general mortality for the population

8% for over seventy

16% for over eighty

The disease attacks the lungs. How is your lung health? Change things if sensible to do so.

Was he actually at the Vatican when he had the disease?

 

[Michie]

Was he actually at the Vatican when he had the disease?

Coronavirus disease 2019 - Wikipedia

Prognosis
According to WHO, based on analysis of 44,000 cases of COVID-19 in Hubei province, around 80% of people have a mild form of the disease, 14% developed more severe disease such as pneumonia, 5% have critical disease, and 2% of cases are fatal.[75]

Among those who died, many had preexisting conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease,[76] and the median time from initial symptoms to death was 14 days (range 6-41 days).[77] Males had a death rate of 2.8% while females had a death rate of 1.7%.[78] In those under the age of 50 the risk of death is less than 0.5% while in those over the age of 70 it is more than 8%.[78] No deaths have occurred under the age of 10 as of February 26th 2020.[78]


Epidemiology
Main article: 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak
Overall mortality and morbidity rates due to infection are not well established; while the case fatality rate changes over time in the current outbreak, the proportion of infections that progress to diagnosable disease remains unclear.[79][80] However, preliminary research has yielded case fatality rate numbers between 2% and 3%;[81] in January 2020 the WHO suggested that the case fatality rate was approximately 3%,[82] and 2% in February 2020 in Hubei.[83] An unreviewed preprint study by Imperial College London among 55 fatal cases noted that early estimates of mortality may be too high as asymptomatic infections are missed. They estimated a mean infection fatality ratio (the mortality among infected) ranging from 0.8% when including asymptomatic carriers to 18% when including only symptomatic cases from Hubei province.[84]

The real issue at hand at this stage is the reliability of the statistics. As far as macro numbers goes all we have is the Chinese data, which in my honest opinion are to be considered corrupted.
This is the same communist party that threatened doctors and nurses with prison if they called red alert.

If they ever had any sort of trustworthiness, it just went out the window. Their numbers and their statistics is absolutely worthless!

As far as the Wuhan-virus is concerned we just have to wait. South Korea is hit hard by this virus and so is Italy and Iran.

Out of these three nations only South Korea is trustworthy and reliable. Their statistics will give us answers, but for now its just unfolding and the authorities are busy handling it.

It will take quite some time before we'll gain a broader picture of this crisis. I mean its kind of difficult work. In Europe we're still working on the complexity of the Svineflue pandemic. Its still many unanswered questions about that virus too.

This will unfold, the dead will be burried and the world will eventually move on. This is the same as it always is with plague.

In civilized countries such as the US and most of Europe, people badly affected by the plague will recieve proper treatment. At least as long as we have the capacity in our healthcare systems. If a major outbreak occurs however, then it will be quite different.

Im sure this will do away with the same groups as it always does. Mainly the poor and marginalized. Its sad though. Its always the same, the victims of globalization is the ones who never enjoyed the fruits of globalization to begin with.

The stats are reliable, yes.

What is not reliable is that of how many Americans here are infected.

Because of the context of how this virus works, it could be tens of thousands.

And since the great majority of the affliction for those would be mild, they would never know that they were afflicted as they passed it on to those who are far more susceptible.
