Why are we talking about mortality as a function of reported deaths over reported infections? A look at deaths over recoveries is much more startling. Can someone explain why that ratio isn't what we ought to be worried about?
We have an idea of the percentage who will recover. The reason there are, so few people who have recovered is, because unlike some people think almost all these infections are new cases, and they haven't had time to get well yet. This virus didn't get here that long ago it wasn't even common in china before January.
Right. But that's a different number from the reported outcome ratio. I understand how the first number is derived, but it doesn't seem as useful as the outcome ratio. Given the length of illness issue we don't know what either number is, I understand.
