>Just surviving will be a miracle enough.

I get the tone you're trying to convey, but a 98% event isn't a miracle.

99.4% is the current best estimate.

If you're under 50 or healthy, it's effectively 100%.

That's not to minimize the very real human tragedy though. Just a bit of context. Remember that 650,000 people die of heart disease every year, and a lot of those deaths are preventable.

Exactly.

Most of us will live through this. Yes, the world will be a bit different, but different is not always worse. There may be some good things to come out of this around the world.

Keep calm. Wash your hands. Wear masks if you got 'em. Help out your friends and neighbors where you can.
