I don't think the actual deaths caused directly by the virus will be the biggest issue.

It's the cascading effects of trying to mitigate the disease that will do the most harm - such as below;

- Hospitals will be overwhelmed, so people with other life-threatening conditions will die as a result.

- The global markets will lose billions, if not trillions of dollars that may never be recovered - causing people to lose big portions of their life savings that is tied to 401k, Money Market, and Mutual Funds.

- Businesses are being ordered to close, as a result many people are out of work and unemployment is spreading as quickly as the virus.

- Industries like cruise and airliners will never be the same
