Coronavirus and the Nation Within

Way too early to know the implications – if any – of this story, but something to keep an eye on. As for the total picture – something we’re totally unqualified to comment on – we are keeping calm. Partly because not keeping calm usually has a bad outcome, but mostly because we suspect the mortality rate is low. To calculate it they divide the number of deaths (probably a fairly accurate stat) by the number of cases – and that number has to be much larger than the number they’re using, for several reasons: some people are infected but asymptomatic and therefore unreported; some have mild cases and think it’s flu or a cold; some are afraid to identify themselves; some are known but unreported due to government incompetence or conniving. But the point: the bigger the divisor, the lower the mortality rate. Just the thoughts of a know-little – feel free to ignore.
