Yesterday they reported 8 new cases, but 7 recovered.
Just saw this article today

"A lot of digging into various municipal data portals reveals, based on the population tested, that rates can vary from, at most, eight-tenths of a percent in New York City to two-one-hundredths of a percent in Phoenix. "
"Did you know the chances of recovery from the coronavirus are about 98%—if you catch it? "
0.008 * 0.02 = 0.00016 or 1/6250

"12. Odds of being struck by lightning — 1 in 114,195

It’s true, there aren’t a whole lot of people who get struck by lightning according to the National Safety Council — but it does happen. Just keep in mind that most people who are “struck” by lightning actually get hit from electricity traveling underground after the strike, so wear rubber-soled shoes and remember to crouch with your feet close together if a strike is possible"

I take it back, getting hit by lightning is still rarer
