Amazing! What South Korea is doing is really bending their #Covid19 epidemic curve. Only 131 new cases today, versus 909 on Feb. 29.
It's not just China. This clearly can be done. https://t.co/sueAO9XLF7 pic.twitter.com/Bw7WX1s9nM— Helen Branswell (@HelenBranswell) March 10, 2020
I see @ariabendix is reporting an important point: "South Korea has tested 140,000 people for the coronavirus. That could explain why its death rate is just 0.6%... Fatality rate seems to decrease as more cases are reported." I pointed this out days ago. https://t.co/oIxDJDbcja pic.twitter.com/r0lDbBbF0e— Yossi Gestetner (@YossiGestetner) March 8, 2020
According to this graph the virus peaked in 2 weeks. So perhaps here it may peak before a month.
So much hystaria!
Deaths are known, the denominator, infected, are not without testing.
LJ,
If that blue line turns out to be the left half of a bell curve....
