Determining actual risk is extremely important.
We had those large losses from that one nursing home, and that has skewed the mortality rate to something in the range of 70%. Over the long hawl that isn't going to hold up, so it's nothing more than a curiosity at the moment. No nation is seeing anything like that.
It's just unfortunate how that turned out there for the inhabitants.
Even the Diamond Princess, the cruise ship where everyone was figured to be next to death, out of 696 cases, so far only 6 have died. That and other numbers out there outside of China, make it clear this is not a mass killer. People will die like they do whenever the flu comes along. Sad but true.
...make it clear this is not a mass killer.
Let's pray that continues to be the worst case! Something is very odd with the large variation of CFR numbers when looked at by locale. I've read there are now two different strains of the virus, but not much is said about which which strain is being reported. It would be helpful if John Hopkins or CDC include an identifier for strain in their database.
You're awesome with a spreadsheet! So, how's your charting skills? :)
Fairly good I believe...
