The case fatality rates are also dodgy. Most fatalities occur in isolated or retarded areas where they do not have modern medical facilities. Which is how you get figures like 30% fatality rate from. The likely infection fatality rate is going to be much lower, as most people who come into contact with it will probably not even get noticeably ill. They will lie with statistics to instill fear in the populous, this will work on most people.
