What is the status of the missing 97.4%?
Are they in the same box as Schrödinger’s cat?
RE: What is the status of the missing 97.4%?
They are considered ACTIVE (under treatment and observation). We can only hope they eventually result in recoveries and not deaths.
I’ve been looking at the stats here. Perhaps it may help you?

Schroedinger, Erwin, professor of physics,
Wrote daring equations, confounded his critics!
(Not bad, eh? Don’t worry. This part of the verse,
Starts off pretty good, but it gets a lot worse.)
Win saw that the theory that Newton’d invented,
By Einstein’s discoveries had been badly dented.
“What now?” wailed his colleagues. Said Erwin, “Don’t panic,
No grease monkey I, but a quantum mechanic.
Consider electrons. Now, these teeny articles,
Are sometimes like waves, and then sometimes like particles.
If that’s not confusing, the nuclear dance,
Of electrons and suchlike is governed by chance!
No sweat, though, my theory permits us to judge,
Where some of them is and the rest of them was.”
Not everyone bought this. It threatened to wreck,
The comforting linkage of cause and effect.
Even Einstein had doubts, and so Schroedinger tried,
To tell him what quantum mechanics implied.
Said Win to Al, “Brother, suppose we’ve a cat,
And inside a tube we have put that cat at,
Along with a solitaire deck, and some Fritos,
A bottle of Night Train, a couple mosquitoes,
(Or something else rhyming) and, oh, if you got ‘em,,
One vial, prussic acid, one decaying ottom,
Or atom - whatever - but when it emits,
A trigger device blasts the vial into bits,
Which snuffs our poor kitty. The odds of this crime,
Are 50 to 50 per hour each time.
The cylinder’s sealed. The hours pass away. Is,
Our pussy still purring? Or pushing up daisies?
Now, you’d say that the cat either lives or it don’t,
But quantum mechanics is stubborn and won’t.
Statistically speaking, the cat (goes the joke),
Is half a cat breathing and half a cat croaked.
To some this may seem a ridiculous split,
But quantum mechanics must answer, “Tough shit!”
We may not know much, but one thing’s for sho’:
There are things in the cosmos that we cannot know.
Shine light on electrons - you’ll cause them to swerve.
The act of observing disturbs the observed.
Which ruins your test. But then if there’s no testing,
To see if a particle’s moving or resting,
Why try to conjecture? Pure useless endeavor!
We know probability. But certainty? Never.
The effect of this notion? I very much fear,
‘Twill make doubtful all things that were formerly clear.
Till soon the cat doctors will say in reports,
“We’ve just flipped a coin and we’ve learned he’s a corpse.”
So saith Herr Erwin. Quoth Albert, “You’re nuts.
God doesn’t play dice with the universe, putz.
I’ll prove it!” he said, and the Lord knows he tried.
In vain, until finally he more or less died.
Win spoke at the funeral: “Listen, dear friends,
Sweet Al was my buddy. I must make amends.
Though he doubted my theory, I’ll say of this saint:
Ten-to-one he’s in heaven—but five bucks says he ain’t.”
“What is the status of the missing 97.4%? Are they in the same box as Schrödinger’s cat?”
I feel like they’re trolling us, by classifying active cases with recovered cases. Anyway, I’m sure you’re prepped too - and them, they can join the sneezing crowds lining up at Costco.
“What is the status of the missing 97.4%?”
You dont medically “recover” from a flu (or whatever term some people want to use so they arent offended by such a “simplistic” term) for a while after the you feel better.
You are still going to feel under the weather and slow for a while, and you are still a little contagious.
42 Deaths + 135 Recoveries = 177 Concluded Cases
24% Death Rate = 42 Deaths / 177 Concluded Cases
From the Johns Hopkins data for South Korea you cited.
If we take the active cases, and assume everybody who has “mild” symptoms will recover, and everybody listed as “serious” or “critical” will die, the current count for Korea would be a death rate of about 1.4%. That sets what I believe to be the high bound, because we know that some critical cases recover, and a lot of the serious cases recover.
The “death” number is a leading indicator, because a lot of people who are going to die die in the first few days after they are detected, while the recovery group all lasts at least 2 weeks before they go into the “resolved” status.

Thanks for the info!
Results can indeed very widely, depending on what data is input.
