Could mankind go extinct through this coronavirus? Probably not

Probably not!

Even the worst pandemics only killed 95% of those exposed to that plague or virus.

So, the worst it could be likely is 6 or 7 billion people gone.

But, this virus isn't killing that many usually only between 2% and 10% of any given population.

And when it gets above 2 or 3 percent it is likely to do more with the economy or government or the lack of healthcare or education or all the above in that given area.

So, most democracies could expect to lose (at most) 2% to 3% of their total populations during the coronavirus outbreak likely within the next 2 to 3 years.

And this isn't likely to happen either. Why?

Because within a year or two we likely will have a vaccine and if the vaccine actually cures both the S and the L versions of the virus and any other versions that might arise spontaneously then this might be the end of our dealing with the coronavirus (at least for covid-19).

Some person today said that the death rate in Italy has been 12% of everyone who tested positive. But, a part of this problem was caused by multiple generations living in the same households which is a great idea for close families in most times just not during a pandemic anywhere on earth.
