Here's why
Buy time for next steps. Allow hospitals to prepare. Get testing to where it needs to be.
We don't know if the fatality rate is 0.1 or 1 percent. I think we should be a little less eager to just rip the band-aid off and get it over with.

Because death is a low frequency event, you need a very large sample size for "statistically credible" data

You do realize that I'm an actuary and understand mortality rates and what "statistically credible" means?
