8% of the 26,000 people in Italy are serious or critical. This has a long way to play out and a medical journal article l I posted a week ago (that got me called a troll) has the Wuhan average age at 56 with 98% of critical patients dying.
This is yet to fully play out. Hopefully NZ will not have the exponential growth of cases as has happened overseas with the restrictions in place. Simply put, if 50% of the population get it (not evidence based, just an estimate on typical viral influenza spread through a season) and 3% die well you can do the maths.
