Though there have only been 27 deaths and 49 infections total this comes to a 55 plus% death rate. So, even though it hasn't affected many people yet this could potentially kill over 1/2 of all infections if it continues in it's slow progression in Saudi Arabia and France and China and anywhere else it has found itself now or will find itself in the future on Earth.
