The best data we have at the moment is out of South Korea and the fatality rate is around .7%. The CDC at 2-3% is premature.

You’ve been listening to the Med School hacks.

If Vegas has a betting line on this, I'm going with the "under" at .5% and it will be like stealing.

Yea i can agree that CDC numbers could be premature.

Id like to see Italy put out its official numbers, they are the most heavily impacted right now

Ya think? We're still basing the actions of the largest economy in history on a current fatality number that is almost half from a single, poorly run facility. If that isn't an outlier one out to discount out of hand, it will do until such an outlier comes along.

Now - it is still very early for us, but the CFR is much closer to South Korea, outside of Washington State. That may hold - may not. We still have a long road ahead.
