Sub-Saharan Africa and places like that I imagine could be much much worse.

Just so you know, Buck, even a virus with lethality index of 0.5%, this is 5X the lethality of Influenza. And, there are approximately 65,000 - 69,000 deaths/yr due to influenza the USA alone. So, a lethality index of 0.5% is not very, very low...that's 1 in 200 infected people dying from it.
In actuality, the lethality index of this virus is minimally 2.5, and may be 3 or even higher, as some epidemiologists have stated. Lethality indexes have virtually nothing to do with epicenters, they have everything to do with virulence.
