It's interesting that the death rate does seem to vary greatly by location. In Italy I read it's now over 7%, quite high with nearly 400 deaths per day, though admittedly they do have a large percentage of elderly. It's higher in Iran as well, possibly due to an inferior medical system.
@[Bill Kort](user:42683), you said " At one point, anyone who presented with the symptoms were labeled as having coronavirus in the count."
I'm not sure where you saw this. I read the complete opposite. That China went to great lengths to reduce the official numbers of #coronavirus infections. In fact, originally even when medical tests practically assured someone was infected, unless they had an official test, they could not be included in the count. And China didn't have enough tests.
When the numbers increased dramatically, it wasn't that people were being infected at higher rates, but rather, it was simply a matter of more people being tested. It makes me wonder if the numbers in the US are much higher than we realize.
I think you are greatly underestimating the impact that coronovirus will have in the US. It is only just getting started there, and the lack of testing kits has made the US completely unprepared to contain an outbreak. It a matter of days, the cases have already ballooned to over 500 and will likely get far worse.
I did read online that several were trying to blame Trump. The problem in a situation like this is that it's tough to balance harsh measures which can force hardship on one's citizens, and damage the economy, and keeping people safe. But I fear that all this is now too little too late.
Once the cat is out of the bag, it's hard to get it back in. This virus will not die out in the US (or any place else) any time soon.
