True 3000 deaths in China on an overall mortality graph is nothing considering the population but if we were to look at a graph of mortality just in the city of Wuhan would probably be different
At the moment they say about 3% mortality with those dying mainly elderly or with underlying health issues but that doesnt mean much in itself people who are sick now have full acces to hospitals and medicine if the infection rate is high all over the world at the same time... it hasn't started and we are running low on supplies of sanitizers and such a shortage of antybiotics for instance would cause a massive spike in deaths and if shit hits the fan it's not that impossible

Uk predicts 5% will require hospitalisation
Italy is saying 10% does require hospitalisation
Another important factor swine flue, bird etc didn't mutate further once transmitted to humans coronovirus is thought to have already mutated twice in 3 months
I agree panicking people can make things so much worse by looting stockpiling crimes because of shortages it can turn into a vicious self propeling circle
I'm not really that much of a pessimist just talking possibilities here to be honest I'm not worried at all but then again I live off-grid way away from people.
