That's an excellent point. Really excellent. It deserves to be mentioned again:

"Another point that I have only seen mentioned once or twice is that the death rate for patients with access to the best medical care may be vastly different if there aren't enough hospital beds or medical care for people. If people just have to stay home and care for themselves, and thereby infect their familes... I can imagine (if this really spreads) whole familes being sick, unable to care for themselves and each other... That is scarey."

Another question that I haven't seen addressed is the condition of those who have "recovered." Reading the story posted by the nurse in the far east who "recovered" --she still has significant disability and it certainly doesn't sound like she's well.

I'd also like the CDC to address the "scarring of the lungs" that we've heard about, and the possibility of reinfection with the same virus.

Those remain huge questions, imho.
