    Document: The most significant danger of this pandemic is not how contagious it is, or the mortality rate, which are important. The main danger is the collapse of the healthcare system.

In any case, having today a similar number of confirmed infections than those of Spain, and after a similar time since they both exceeded 500 cases, it has a CFR of less than 0.5%, which seems encouraging.
