This would make this new virus significantly more infectious and fatal than the Spanish flu of 1918 (R0 2, CFR 2.5%), which killed tens of millions of people worldwide.

I 100% agree with the overall point you're making, as I don't think people understand sometimes the relative comparisons exactly. With that said, Spanish flu in 1918 death total is tough to compare to modern day just given the advancements in available care and general hygiene across the board.

I'm most concerned as we're working on baby #2 here, and really can't afford for my wife to get sick right now... I think a lot of people forget that "immuno-compromised" can include people who aren't chronically sick or elderly. And while she might not be at risk of dying, she certainly is at risk of losing little Fib #2.
