No: Far from 100% fatal. The fatality rates have varied in different countries. Using statistics from New York City " Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) = Deaths / Cases = 23,430 / 1,694,781 = 1.4% (1.4% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a fatal outcome, while 98.6% recover)." REF: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/. World Health Organization estimated IFR of > 3%.
