When people see bodies being thrown into plague pits & covered with a layer of lime before the next layer is thrown in they’ll finally realise just how serious this is.
Already in Italy the cremation facilities can’t keep up with the volume.
If you want a rough & dirty death rate from the UK statistics, look at how many cases there were detected 1 week ago (85) and then look at how many deaths there were a week later (8)….. that’s approaching 10%, the same as SARS.
