We're hearing all of these stories of people recovering, but the numbers just don't support what we're hearing and I can't begin to tell ya how sad that makes me feel.
I think your thoughts about us hitting a barrier - which is what both Italy and Korea have done - and I know Korea is our best guide in beating this - anyway, I thing you're right. I think we'll hit a barrier soon, maybe in a week or two at the most.

Even though the degree of safety vs. side effects is well known.
