Real mortality rate isn't even that helpful though since so many people will have it and be asymptomatic. Mortality rate once you get sick is probably what people will want to know most - controlling for age and other conditions.

Seems like a good estimate. I think we're going to see an increase in testing in the US in the coming days and weeks. Which will inevitably lead to more cases and panic amongst the masses. I'm trying to keep things in prospective right now. I don't have the energy to endlessly worry about this anymore..
