It does not work like that. Even if the mortality rate did end up at 2%, (bearing in mind that it is more likely to go down as time progresses) it would not mean that you would personally have 1 in 50 chance of dying from it if you caught the virus, quite apart from the fact that the odds of catching it merely by being in an airport is extremely low.If your immune system is already compromised, then it would be sensible to take additional precautions. Apart from that, if you are that risk averse, I would suggest that you avoid getting into a taxi or any form of road transport to go to/from the airport as the risk of your being in a road accident is substantially higher than getting severely ill through 2019-nCoV.
