The average life expectancy is 82.
Before "throttling" the next person that says it, have you considered these people's opinion that this will not be anywhere near as bad as a regular flu season and far from a severe one which is over 600,000 deaths globally? There's a good chance corona is displacing a lot of the deaths that would have occurred anyway due to the flu.
As far as things are going, the infections and death toll is nowhere near what flu has already inflicted on the global population in the last 4 months.
Why are people not taking the same precautions for the flu in the last few years? Why do people suddenly care so much? It's very much a media driven situation.
SARS in 2002 had no cases anywhere after two years of outbreaks. Something to think about. History can look back on these comments here and judge.
