The current case rate fatality, based upon measured numbers, is 0.3%. This means 3 in 100 people infected will die. The current average Ro (reproductive rate) is 3, meaning on average, one person infects 3 others. These numbers are obtained from hospital and county health driven data, and represent the danger of the virus during mitigation activities such as quarantine and social distancing.

If you are wondering what the projections are should we decide to forego any protective activities, you can extrapolate the numbers from the church in Kentucky this video mentions, where an estimated 300 people attended, 50 became infected, and 6 died. That's an infection rate of 16% (1 in 6 people infected) and a case fatality rate of 12% (1 in 8 infected people dead). That's the average case fatality rate of the measles, which is an airborne illness.

So, yeah, this isn't the flu. This is a pretty good reason to stay home.
