      Not half, no; currently the death rate is about 8% for people who have contracted it. And if you maintain good hygiene (keep washing your hands!) then you can hopefully avoid getting it in the first place.

      I don’t think so! Medicine is so good these days and as a human species, we are more prepared than ever before to deal with pandemics so as long as we all stay vigilant and look after each other, fingers crossed this will be over soon. 🙂
