The only reason why there’s not more dead is because the majority are taking the advice of staying home. Ironically the only way to stop this is if the gov to actually enforce a lockdown. Most businesses should be able to survive a few weeks of lockdown, but the way it’s going on now where there’s still people thinking this isn’t serous would ensure that this will go on for a long time.
Again, this is simply incorrect. 80% of the cases of those infected are mild at most. The majority of people infected receive no medical intervention and develop immunity.
From the World Health Organization:
People may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal. Older people, and people with other medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill.
