It sounds increasingly likely that the fatality rate is less than 1%

If enough people get it badly enough to require significant medical care, that will quickly overwhelm hospitals, and the fatality rate among those turned away will be much higher. We're more likely to follow the Iran pattern (CFR = 5.5%) than that from Japan or South Korea or even China.
