Biom, that NY Times article was ridiculous. The death rate has not increased. The death rate a few weeks ago was obviously going to be about 7% [the upper bound was defined at about 10% by those recovered compared with those dead]. People get sick, then die. So comparing those sick with those dead distorts the picture [especially in the initial stages, when everyone is sick, but none have died]. I'm surprised the doctors don't understand the arithmetic, but maybe they were misreported by ignorant journalists, who are bewildered by numbers and statistics. Anyway, here's my comment on that article.http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=18867524 Mqurice
