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
    - Read the opinion. Garbage. Motivating it is disenfranchisement pure and simple -- nm - JackDawson Apr 6, 21:38
    - The virus as a biological agent does not but the disparate effect isn’t just in the treatment it’s in who gets it and that was obvious from day zero t - JackDawson Apr 6, 11:08 1

  - 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
    - BTW what's your temperature? -- nm - VMan Apr 6, 10:50
