Majority of people are willing to take the risk. 1.7M deaths with 81M reported infected. The deaths probably accurate but with testing we know it is undereported.

But even using the reported stats it is a death rate of circa 2%. Break it down even further and if travellers were sub 50 in age with 2 kids and no undelying conditions then death rate is tiny.
