KB, I haven't seen a CDC estimate of the prevalence or cumulative incidence of Covid-19 recently. Can you cite a source for those numbers? I read...
@Takao, Did you not read Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men?

Hmmmm....I've done a bit more reading since shooting my mouth off 15 minutes ago (above). Some epidemiologists are modeling numbers that suggest...
This graph makes my point about the rapidity of deaths (above) a bit more clearly than I did: [IMG]
WHO continues to estimate the mortality rate at 3.4% (last I saw). I also think that is a bit high. I originally thought the mortality rate was...
