OP
This differs from Chinese and South Korean data. Notably, the high mortality rate of 5%.

You can choose between real data or Trump's hunch that the figure is much lower.

It squelched the stories about it being transferred to animals, including dogs and cats.
If this was possible, we'd be seeing a lot of dead animals everywhere by now.
NO KIDDING!
Had I only thought of this!
& recommend!!

unlike significantly downplayed death numbers and symptoms from China. Only 10% are asymptomatic and 19% critical, thats insane. And thats with good quality universal healthcare system in Italy. I am afraid of the next two weeks in the US. Thats worse than spanish flu. Get ready for Dow getting below 20k within weeks, and thats the least of our concerns.

Lower in both of those countries. Hard to know the actual
mortality rate until the dust settles.
