False equivalence. Car accidents are not transmitting at viral rates. Cars are not infecting other cars even when they are working perfectly well. Seasonal flu is not killing 2% of those infected, and even then we take necessary measures to avoid the common flu.

When you say "viral rates" please cite your model.

Here is the latest out of California,

Making the effective death rate like 0.1% - 0.3%, if confirmed.

This paper has been widely criticised as likely being completely wrong, as it incorrectly accounts for false positives.
