Depends: The mortality of Covid-19 has not been firmly established but may be around 1% of patients infected. What has been established is that mortality increases after age 65 and every decade after.

Being determined: World Health Organization provided an estimate of 3.4 % death rate in March. But deaths appear to be variable depending on factors like race, region , underlying conditions and age.
