Of course, it seems to be a hoax with a 3% mortality rate.

Even in the epicenter, Wuhan, where people live together like sardines only 1 out of 1000 even got infected. The rates of death are dropping in China daily to the point they have begun closing hospitals they quickly built.
For Chinese patients who got infected after Feb 1st the death rate is just 0.7%. The earlier patients overwhelmed the inadequate Chinese health care system and had a death rate far higher.

The Johns Hopkins data suggests that its around 3%
