It’s not like a flu; it’s more contagious and more deadly.
It can’t be contained like SARS; it evades screening and tests.
It’s not like 1918; we fly everywhere 
It’s not “safe outside

No, this is a mistake. The incubation period is variable, 1-14 days, deaths are backloaded to the 3rd week of the disease and beyond, and the disease is growing exponentially (~10x per week!) Consider that it took 27 days to kill Li Wenliang, 34, the whistleblower doctor.

Did the doctor get it 27 days earlier or 14 days? Most worrying is the consensus that it's fatal for very young, sick or very old. But here we have a presumably fit and able 34 year old fatality. The lock down of vast provinces/cities in China suggests fear level extreme?

This is an excellent study under the circumstances, but upon close reading you see this: “we did not compare the 28-day rate of the composite endpoint.” Essentially this means that you can’t use this to determine death rate because lethality is back-loaded into 3rd wk & beyondpic.twitter.com/ws7OQL4PMM
