mafic/Inigo: re, deaths. Scientists worldwide seem to agree that the "true" mortality rate is 0.6%, which does mean the total number of "real" cases

has always been, as always suspected, significantly (by a factor of 5-10 times) higher than the confirmed cases, with the "real" death numbers also being higher than the confirmed number, but not by the same factor (the excess date rates are nowhere near 5-10 times higher the normal death rates).
To me, this is all good news/news in the positive direction. The virus and its long-term effects, plus its mutability and reasons for death, are too new and too unknown to just say fuck it let's move on. But, increased treatment leader to fewer date rates is a step in the right direction to normalcy, of a few more needed (particularly contagion rates--0.6% of 350 million people is still WAY too many people. If you can get it to the flu level deaths--20,000 a year? then there is no reason it cannot be seen as such--but that is a long ways away)
