Deaths/cases as a measure of severity says this virus is far more deadly than flu.

But . . . people are looking at the wrong thing. Go to the worldometers site. There you can get more than the headline number of cases global.

You can get Active Cases. This is total cases minus recovered and dead. Active cases remove resolved cases.

Active cases have been in decline for 2 weeks globbally.

Containment measures are working. Total cases are only going to be interesting to future historians. It is active cases that determine how society should change behavior, and they are in decline.

“Active cases have been in decline for 2 weeks globbally.”

Still, the “decline” is due to China’s numbers which make the bulk of the cases. People are dumb enough to accept China’s claim that there were only 8 new cases yesterday in ALL of China outside of Hubei.
