I’m just going with the numbers experts are saying. I think there’s been several of us who have already had it but had no clue what it was. There will be no way to know how accurate the numbers are but for me it seems undeniable that the numbers of cases is way under reported and most people think the average case is worse than it is.
Almost 0 that I personally get it in the next month because we have been home for days and frankly nobody at my house has a reason to leave for a month (WFH).
Once things calm down a bit and I resume normal life, Id say 10-20%. Hopefully at that point, we have a treatment plan and resources to handle it.

Over what time frame? Even if you avoid catching it as part of the current outbreak the virus will not just disappear and we have no idea when an effective vaccine will be available.

Yeah, I just voted on the current situation. The percentage of the population catching it is low at this time. The question was "will contract" so I took that to mean this point forward, not currently have it. We've stocked up enough so that there's probably a 10% chance i'll come in contact with anything anyone else has touched. In maybe a day or two, that will be even less.

Yeah - this is a really good point not to mention a vaccine isn't foolproof. Not intending to sound negative toward the OP but need some parameters on this - as it is it's kind of like starting a poll about whether you think you will get the flu. The likelihood over someones lifetime of getting the flu has to be pretty high.
Yeah I think this is something not a lot of people understand. I was vaccinated against measles as a child but when I had a health screening as part of a job at a hospital, tests showed that I didn't have the antibodies and needed to be vaccinated again. Never knew that was a thing.
Edit: I dunno, maybe I'm overstating it. I guess with the flu shot people understand limited effectiveness because we're guessing at the strains. Not sure what the right comparison is here.
Voted 10% before giving it much thought. Reality is higher than 50%. My workplace it open as normal, and we still have people travelling. The chances of someone not bringing it in are pretty slim. I may have already been exposed with the travelling I have done in the last few weeks.
