The South Korea cohort is the best estimate for the death rate since they test much much more people than China, Europe and the US. They even have drive through testing. The death rate in South Korea is 0.6%. Even South Korea will miss the mild cases. On the other hand it takes time from when...

Calm the fuck down. I have been short the market due the outbreak for weeks, but "20-30% fatality rate" is ridiculous. Read: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/coronavirus-fatality-rate-or-death-percentage-the-most-accurate-estimate-817752/
