What are the chances that you will die of New Coronavirus? The statistical chances for normal adults up to 70 years of age is about .8 to 2 percent. That is, out of every hundred people who get it, one or two will die between the ages of 10 and 70.

This is scary, but it could be much worse.

I am 66, and suffer from HBP, cardiac artery disease, diabetes and emphysema. Thus, if I catch the disease, I my chances are 66% I'll survive, and 33% I'll die.
