The CFR is still pretty unknown for the chinese virus, though. Mass testing is the only way to know.

“The CFR is still pretty unknown for the chinese virus, though. Mass testing is the only way to know.”

I agree that mass testing would set a pretty solid marker. The testing that is going on in SK is pretty thorough and more than adequate for statistics we can use. When you do a poll of 500 or 600 or 1000 random people you get certainties in the 90s. When you “poll” 200,000 people it’s a lot more precise.

Not a perfect analogy, but I think it makes the point.
