there are two problems with covid19
1 about 20% of those that get it need to be hospitalized and in intensive care. no country has enough spare facility for this to handle 20% of the population which means quarantines and curfew and possibly disruption of public services but at least supply chains.
2 people panic which hurts more than the underlying cause and can have very severe ramifications very far from the origin of the problem.

WHO recently set death rate at 3.4%. China fabricates data like hell to save economy, look at Italy. Anyway 3.4 is official for now worldwide. Up to 20% ppl need medical care if too mamy ppl are infected hospitals get overwhelmed so death rate will go up a lot.

that's the mortality rate in hospitals and seems underestimated for the entire population if it spreads fast.

for many it will just be like a flu. but the number that needs to be treated in hospital care is way too high for the infrastructure to handle. if can also cause an immune storm that kills the most healthy patients.

i think the death toll in the end will totally depend on how fast this epidemic infects the majority of the human population. if very fast the death toll will be insane. if slowly enough it will be way below 0.3%. it's all about intensive care capacity and general emergency services capacity in an area.
in my country for example the intensive care capacity is already stretched thin when there is no epidemic. the doctors and other health workers are already doing overtime when everything is fine. i expect 1-2% of the population gone if nothing changes. shittons of lies and simply not diagnosing the cause will result in much better statistics tho.

this time i give it a real percentage chance partly because i know how retarded my government is and how they always react to every problem with a political move instead of a professional partly because this epidemic barely started and already killed more than the last two big deal total already cause shelves in markets to empty and already set people against each other.
panic is worse than the disease is but that is bad enough this time. so yeah i'm not going to go nuts and prep for the end of the world but 2 weeks of extremely disrupted services is a very real possibility now.

i know i will get this shit in most likelihood and i know it won't be worse than a cold most likely. this got nothing to do with why i stock up on some spare food whenever i can. i look at the maps and i can tell there are already thousands of undiagnosed cases around here. (migrant workers moving though between infection and death hotspots and their home) when most people realize the virus is already here and will not be contained at the borders shit will turn on it's head quickly as far as food and necessities go. also suspect most of the emergency reserves and rations will turn up on the black market for exorbitant prices. i expect shit going to south within 2 weeks and if it doesn't happen i didn't buy anything that won't last till september at least.

best to stock up on normal prices now imo.

true, but still calling it a common cold is just stupid. some people overreact some are not taking it seriously enough. i personally don't think i can do a fucking thing to avoid it and whatever happens will happen.

what i dom't want to experience is hunger or inconvenience just because some people who did not took it seriously suddenly panic and mass raid the stores when supply of goods is disrupted internationally. that's all.

there is no reason to panic but also no reason not to prepare some. i always had 72 hours of food and water at home. that's the bare minimum reserves if you only expect a local crisis or disaster. i think for a global crisis 2 weeks supply is minimum.

You are into mainstream media narrative.
Unironically if it was really really bad, they wouldn't talk about it. It's only when the situation is under control, even (((their))) control, that they talk about something. For example, during the techernobyl cloud, the risk was real, but they didn't talk about it, and minimized the risk.
It this virus was really massively dangerous, they would just don't talk about it, and minimize casualties.
