I do not know whether the "fear" itself are deadly or not, but the virus is about 50/50.
Approximately/about the half (52.25%) (48 175) of the confirmed cases (92 196) are recovered, but sad to see that the 3.39% of them died. You can find the statistics in this post: COVID-19 today (2020.03.03).

If it bleeds, it leads. The stories are popular because the media loves anything that invokes fear. Fear brings in the clicks.
