With the current WHO mortality rates, take 300 of your closest friends, family, and relatives. 3.4% of them means 10 die.
THAT is why this needs to be taken seriously. It's going to get worse.

Many citizens of China smoke, even their MDs.
For healthy people of young and middle age, without smoking or chronic health issues the death rate is very, very low from this disease.
Stay healthy.
