Fubho, that "study" assumes that the number of people infected by the coronavirus is a LOT higher than the actual reported number. This is why I don't like it when people use "scientific studies" to push a predetermined narrative. In this case, the study is nothing more than an academic exercise. It starts from the assumption that there are many, many more silent carriers of the coronavirus than we know about. We can't conclude that the assumption is valid without further study, which could take a long time. But that won't stop armchair coronavirus "experts" on the Internet from drawing their own conclusions. And of course, we now have hundreds of millions of them. Tenchusatsu P.S. - My rant against armchair experts using "scientific studies" also applies to those who believe in that climate changey thingy (cough cough Wharfie cough cough) ...

New German Study Finds Coronavirus Mortality Rate at 0.37% -- Ten Times Less Than Flawed WHO Numbers that Sent Global Community into a Panic

.....who would have guessed?...............3/26/2020

... I guessed the overall fatality rate to be below .5%........with much lower for those less than 50 and perhaps as high as 1% for those over 60.....assuming that all get appropriate medical care.......there will be plenty of data from NY in the future to pin these numbers down............it may be even lower when we ultimately find out how many people actually have it......perhaps as low as .2%

.....here's a very simple way to explain a lot...........take the NYC and metro NY/NJ/CT hospital system and assume there has been enough govt. neglect such that the capacity is only perhaps 33% more than can be accommodated by a SEVERE regular flu season......then add corona virus on to that with perhaps two to three times the mortality rate...........the result.....a 10 second explanation of what is going on.
