5. I disagree as a high number of people died of CFR and were not counted IMHO. We know this happened

in Italy for sure and also in China where the numbers are suspect...I think it will be between 3% and 6 %...could be higher if our hospitals are overwhelmed and treatment is poor. There will also be deaths of people who because of CFR could not receive treatment of other life threatening illness in time because of the hospitals being unable to treat them.
