I've been hoping this thing was more infectious than we realize (meaning higher prevalence than known, and thus lower fatality rate). I think that's the case and the fatality rate will end up between 0.5 and 1% and hopefully closer to 0.5.
It also makes sense that fomite transmission is uncommon. Covid is a respiratory virus. We've been talking about hand washing and disinfecting packages and such, but that's just because it's one of the only things individuals can control, so giving them some agency to fight this is good for that psychological reason alone. But the widespread adoption of masking will be much more important in reducing transmission.
