        The reaction to the figure of 59k was the same as mine. The graphics provided by Reuters relating to Patient 31 in South Korea (along with the rising daily death toll in Italy) was what led me to change my thinking about just how virulent Covid-19 is: https://graphics.reuters.com/CHINA-HEALTH-SOUTHKOREA-CLUSTERS/0100B5G33SB/index.html …

        His maths isn't great - correct figures are 29 and 59,000, not 14. But I think the point still obviously stands!

        The infection or R0 rate for Covid19 is approx 2.4...the average flu is 1.3

        That is still ~6300 people infected if the R0 is 2.4!
