There is some very irresponsible stuff being spewed by some media outlets, various leaders, some captains of industry, and even some medical professionals. I keep seeing people assert that the chances of getting this are low. That is a time-bounded assertion. Regardless of the current rate, the chances of getting this grow dramatically by treating this as if you're unlikely to get it.
And for those that are dwelling on the mortality rate, it doesn't matter what the mortality rate is because no matter what it is, the more people that get it, the more people will succumb to it. So the mortality rate being 10%, 3%, 2%, 0.5% or whatever has no bearing on the fact that being cavalier about this will result in more loss of life.
