In another CDC document their "most likely scenario" moving forward is .0065 infection mortality rates.

We should certainly be wearing a mask, washing hands, etc, etc but lets stop the outright lunacy that this thing is going to kill everyone. I, and millions of other are going to lose thier jobs, houses, wives, mental health you name it due to this thing being overhyped by exponential factors.
