      1. South Korea reported another +500 #Covid19 cases today & +4 deaths. They bring the counts there to 5328 cases & 32 deaths. That outbreak is growing steadily. No flattening apparent.pic.twitter.com/3lCialAG9O

      2. Some people were asking recently about demographic breakdown of the cases in Korea. They've started publishing some in their daily updates. Scroll to the bottom of the page. No deaths in anyone <30 yo there to date.pic.twitter.com/ucUkIaSBrM

          This looks like what one might expect with aggressive case finding. While the CFR is still higher than influenza in a bad year, it is declining into that range.

          Some of the people who have it may still die which would push the CFR higher.

          But if the data set shows a fatality rate of .6 then isn't it likely there'll be more deaths from this data set that we haven't seen yet?

          That's what I don't get. There were hardly any confirmed cases in S Korea 10 days ago. It takes 2-3 weeks for the worst symptoms to kick in.

          Interesting that the ratio of male vs female is disproportionate with females representing ~62% of cases. Is that due to having caregivers being predominantly female?

          The rounding method is a bit weird. They should use 2 significant digits everywhere, or you get this, 0.2% and 0.1% from pretty much the same numberpic.twitter.com/tX6O8zRy03
