Certainly Trump would have been confused.
Yes, and a lot of the fatality rate depends heavily on other factors, if the health care system reaches critical mass and beyond, the CFR goes freight train. If you slow the spread and keep health care facilities in check, than hopefully 1% or even less is what we are dealing with.
Another thing Fauci has been saying all along is, the travel ban from China in January is paramount to our relatively low amounts of people with COVID-19. A lot of lives were probably saved by that one move. Italy (and other European countries) did not close travel from China in as timely a fashion, and their epidemic is the result.
Maybe. But until they start testing we'll never know what our infection rate and relatedly, what our fatality rates actually are. Best not to toot horns that aren't made yet.
I find it ironic that China was castigated for their inadequate COVID-19 response when our effort appears so amateurish.
Yea, so are we.....The CDC tested a whopping 77 people this week*, after 2 months to prepare.
*Statistically insignificant
