Which brings us back full circle - it is not the mortality rate which is the issue, but the proportion requiring hospitalisation which is the problem for society as a whole.
Quantum is good at doing the maths - but assume 50% have the infection - out of a population of 100 million (for sake of argument and because it makes the maths easy), that is 50 million infected - if 5% of those have sever enough symptoms to require hospitalisation, that is 2.5 million people requiring hospital beds and care. This is where we get into difficulties.
