Yes, but the Science article shows clearly that the case fatality rate is 
also dependent on many factors including age, existing medical conditions, 
and sex.  Most of the people in this group are at higher risk than the 
general population.  I?m in the high risk group because of my age (73) and 
I?m a type 1 diabetic.  In addiction, all diabetics are essentially heart 
patients as well because we have the same incidence of heart attack as 
someone who has already had one.  A triple whammy.

While I?m not panicking, I?m doing my best to limit my activities and stay 
home as much as possible.
