Total cases has passed 80k

80146 confirmed cases 2699 deaths and 27563 recovered.

That’s not at all a low death rate, that’s 10% of people who have cleared the illness.

If 40-70% of people catch it (no idea how that Harvard guy got those numbers, or why he thinks it can’t be contained) then that’s potentially a half billion deaths.

Sigh, we've been discussing this same misconception for weeks, but here it goes again.

Recovery numbers lag significantly confirmed cases and deaths for a myriad of reasons. At one point we had one death for each recovery. Yesterday, on the other hand, we had 71 deaths and 2589 recoveries in Mainland China. Or look at similar data from the other countries if you don't want to trust chinese numbers.

So chill out and give time to time.
