Unfortunately no. Some early flu pandemics had .1%, not the 2.3.% we are seeing now. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic had anywhere from a 2.5% to 10% mortality rate. 3-6% of the global population died from that specific flu that humans were never exposed to.

There is considerable conflation of diagnosis & contraction of “corona”. Actual virality is much lower than it would seem. I think this will turn out to be comparable to other forms of influenza. World War Z it is not.
