Statistics from WHO-China Joint Mission published on Feb 28. "Death Rate" represents the patient's risk of dying, if infected.
The data is rather self explanatory. Here are the conclusions I drew: Males are twice as likely to die as females, if infected. Children pretty much don't die; in fact everyone under the age of 50 is pretty much safe. If you don't have a serious pre-existing condition, your chances of dying from this disease are under 1% (if infected).
If you're under 50 and healthy, you multiply your 0.20% mortality rate if infected, with the low probability of you getting infected, and get some miniscule number. Therefore, in spite of this pandemic, you're still on track to die from heart disease, COPD (air pollution, smoking, etc), diabetes, TB (if in India), road accidents - all the usual good stuff.
