There are mortality stats in it and I wanted to add some statistics color to that, since it's common for people to see these and panic. Don't panic! (actually never panic, it doesn't help)

Disease fatality/injury rates are, especially for very rare occurrence diseases, extremely biased because the sample the draw from is biased. The real rates are almost always lower.
