I posted your data link weeks ago. But you are too stupid to know that it is uncalibrated data. you have no info on the error bars of the data. So you do your math. LOL And what is it you think the main stream media is selling?

There is no reliable calibrated data to do any reliable math with. My opining is based upon what I believe to be the educated guess opinions of the numbers people in the CDC. I will give them my benefit of doubt that they are being honest and believe the mortality is between .1 and 1% based upon their past analysis of past diseases.

Focus on what in the South Korea uncalibrated data.

What defines a recovered case? Are all cases determined tested to define recovered. What is the time variation in the disease recovery, a time plus or minus some time? What is the time curve of the growth of cases for your example. Have most of the growth in cases in South Korea happened in the last week or two.

How stupid are you?

FYI, coumo indicated that only about 20% if those with virus are represented in the 100,000 current case count.
80% walk around with minor symptoms. That would take the reported deaths and spread them over 500,000 cases.

This is also an uncalibrated report. But supports .1 to 1% mortality as I have heard from the CDC guess.
