South Korea has done the most extensive testing of any country and there death rate is running around 5%. But here we are playing "I’m not an epidemiologist but".

This is false. Please stop.

Current fatality rate is less than 1% of confirmed cases.

I love how you are basically going around the thread with bold statements with 0 data to backup your claims regarding the fatality rates.

Currently experts are giving us data and people are giving us sources.

[1] Countries like Iran literally have mass graves at this point and here you are claiming this is overblown by social media.

You really need to stop.
