I don’t know how reputable that website is, the company that owns that website has less than 10 employees and was founded in 2016. I’d rather get the info from CDC/WHO/other reputable organizations for info.

Lots of grand claims on this website too, makes it seem sketchy:

It’s been widely reported by health officials all over the world that 80% of cases have only mild illness, but the remaining 20% have very serious illness.
