Everyone on the Diamond Princess was tested. That added 400 asymptomatic cases to the 300 known cases, which changed the 7 deaders from 2.3% fatalities to 1% fatalities.

"One of the issues with Covid-19 is the “unknown denominator” problem. There needs to be a way to test the general population to see how many have mild or asymptomatic cases. Right now the only people being tested are those with symptoms."

It’s the either/or virus.

Either you get it and it’s mild.

Or it tries to kill you.

Perhaps the real issue is that we are *all* susceptible to it at the same time.

Unlike other circulating coronaviruses that have been in humanity for who knows how long. That don’t get all of us at the same time because some of us have seen them before.

1% fatality is 10-12 times worse than the flu.

And a disaster.
