A total of 3,14,687 people died from COVID-19 infection globally in the last three months while 4,240,994 others died from other different causes in the same period of time. 

According to unofficial data collected from different news media, some 369,602 people died from common cold, 340,584 from malaria, 353,696 committed suicide, road crashes claimed lives of  393,479 people, 240,950 died from HIV, 558,471 from alcohol consuming, 816,498 from smoking and 1,167,714 from cancer across the globe in the last three months. 

In such circumstances, experts advised not to panic and kill oneself with unnecessary fear. 

Data showed that some 3,338,724 people are now sick with Coronavirus worldwide. But, if you are not in or haven't recently visited any foreign country, this should eliminate 95% of your concern.

If you do contact coronavirus, this still is not a cause for panic because 81% of the cases are mild, 14% of the cases are moderate and only 5% of the cases are critical.

That means - even if you do get the virus, you are most likely to recover from it, says unofficial data. 

Experts say this is even less dangerous than SARS and SWINEFLU! 

SARS had a fatality rate of 10%, Swine flu 28% while COVID-19 has a fatality rate of 2%. 

Moreover, looking at the ages of those who are dying of this virus, the death rate for the people under 55 years of age is only 0.4%.

Let's take one day ie 1st May as an example when COVID-19 took lives of 6,406 in the world. On the same day: 26,283 people died of cancer, 24,641 of Heart disease, 4,300 diabetes, suicide took 28 times more lives than the virus did.

Mosquitoes kill 2,740 people every day, humans kill 1,300 fellow humans every day, and snakes kill 137 people every day. 

Based on these facts, experts advised that one should do the daily things to support their immune system and do not live in fear.
