The US passed 10k. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 10:33 13
- Pushing 3% mortality. -- nm - VMan Apr 6, 10:36 12
  - Though since case count is almost certainly very undercounted, the % should be lower. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 10:41 11
    - That one cuts both ways. The number of deaths is undoubtedly much higher. Based on what I've seen, 3% seems pretty reasonable. -- nm - David Apr 6, 10:53 7
      - Plus, it's not like we can go around thinking it's 3% for everybody. Predictable racial bias is reportedly emerging WRT how people are being treated -- (link) - con_carne Apr 6, 11:05 3

      - I mean I guess it the best we have but the data is so bad I still struggle to take away anything concrete from it. -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 10:57
    - True. Just working with the rough numbers reported. -- nm - VMan Apr 6, 10:43 2
      - oh I understand. I was just looking for the.....I dunno the term, silver lining doesn't fit here, but looking for a sliver of optimism I guess? - ty97 Apr 6, 10:45 1

JK Rowling had covid and has recovered -- (link) - eag Apr 6, 09:57 4
- As a point of clarification, she thinks she had it based on advice of her doctor husband. She was never tested, though. -- nm - David Apr 6, 10:15 3
  - Does that make a difference? I thought we were to assume symptoms equals you have it. That’s how everyone I know is treating it -- nm - JackDawson Apr 6, 10:20 2
    - Informally, yes. In official case counts, I think no. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 6, 10:21 1
