The case-fatality rate is central to pandemic planning. While estimates of case-fatality (CF) rates for past influenza pandemics have ranged from about 0.1% (1957 and 1968 pandemics) to 2-3% (1918 pandemic).
SARS and MERS were more deadly, but far less transmissible.

I didn't say a thing about supply chain disruptions. But if you're implying that disruptions are due to "hysteria", then do a calculation of what 2% of 7 Billion people is.

I wouldn’t get too hung up on percentages. A lot is still unknown. Last report I read stated 1.4% and went on to say it was actually probably lower since a lot of people had it without even knowing it. Also, outside Hubei Province, the mortality rate was 0.4% for most of China.
