Based on the numbers report from China, It appears that the overall death rate for this disease is about 10%. Don’t know about the demographics but it’s probably higher among older people and and infants.
The “Spanish Flu” pandemic of 1918-19 was the the worst one in history including the Black Death. It killed some 50,000,000 people world-wide. It was also unique in that the population most affected were the young and middle-aged, not the aged and very young as one would expect.
