That’s an extremely high ratio of critical to infected... almost 50%.

That ratio probably reflects pollution in Wuhan making people more susceptible and that the system was overwhelmed. It likely also reflects that milder cases are still not being counted.

I suspect that the ratio of critical to infected in countries outside of China might be more realistic as long as the medical system isn't overwhelmed. But there are still many that aren't recovered outside of China, and that's worrisome.

There are two charts on this page that I'm following. The total cases outside of China which unfortunately includes the cruise ship. And the number of new cases daily outside of China, which also includes the cruise ship.

I'm pleased the growth hasn't been faster outside of China. But I'm not convinced that they have it under control especially in Singapore and Japan.

And communist China isn't the only government that could lie about case statistics to preserve their economy. It could be a lot worse outside of China than what is being reported.
