Probably, by the looks of it, they are looking at the numbers in the US, it seems. Large enough population, seems to be steady around 1-2%. - Marlowe Mar 24, 16:00 2
- Also a death rate of 1% while not Italy's 9%, is not great if the flu is .3% -- nm - JackDawson Mar 24, 16:10 1
  - Also, we simply have no idea of the long-term impacts for those that recovered. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 24, 16:12
