Actually, we have no idea how many people are succumbing to this virus. As long as there is an infection of Covid-19 at the time of death, then here in the United States it is listed as a Covid-19 death even if it wasn't the actual cause of death. If you don't believe me, how about this;
There is not enough testing being done to know what the actual infection rate is and way too many deaths are being contributed to this virus. At any rate, no matter how you hash the numbers out, the mortality rate for this virus is less than 1%. And the majority of those infected are in fact asymptomatic, meaning no symptoms at all.
For all the hype and hysteria, this virus may well be no worse than many recent flu years. The most unique thing about this situation is that it is a virus rather than the flu and the fact that our medical professionals were not properly prepared for it despite the fact that they fully anticipated this very scenario to eventually develop.
