Fatality vs Infection Rates

"Have you ever had a close encounter--a close encounter with something very unusual?"
--David Laughlin (Close Encounters of the Third Kind)

Interesting plot of fatality vs infection rates for various illnesses.


While confidence in the data can certainly be questioned at this point, the window produced by current estimates do not suggest coronovirus as an outlier on either scale.
