It's not .3-.5%. Look at the data we have, let's not assume the others.
I'll leave this hear for you and you can do the math yourself. |
Sure those #'s show a higher mortality rate but when half the country doesn't have reliable testing and the other half are told to stay at home and not get treatment if mild, I'd say it's very plausible that many many more have it but aren't included in those stats.
Either way it's still devastating the entire world but I really do try to be optimistic and think when we have the science caught up the rate will lower substantially IMO obviously |
Sure that's definitely possible, but even then I still wouldn't agree on the .3-.5% rate.
Regardless, just a really sad situation. And yes once science figures out a vaccine it should drop down tremendously.
