    convinced that half the problem right now is widespread innumeracy. if half the country catches the virus, then a “low” 3 percent mortality rate means upwards of 5 million deaths.pic.twitter.com/Yp6miFrdVH

        Coming to the realization that with certain numbers, like a billion dollars or a 3% death rate on 330 million, cause people misunderstand math.

        “the mortality rate” varies depending on conditions. if we limit the spread and are well prepared, it is 1 percent. but since neither of those things is true, there is a chance it can creep up to the 5, 6 percent seen in italy https://twitter.com/feathery_4/status/1238935634829508609?s=21 … https://twitter.com/sheesh_12/status/1238935634829508609 …

        And since this thread is blowing up, let me say, donate to your local food bank. And send cash, not food.

        and the hospitalization rate isn't clear but it's huge, like 20%. seems bad, to me.

        Bloomberg could have given each of the 5 million $100 million instead of running for president.

        Italy is currently at 6+% I'm fairly certain, which is what could happen if medical infrastructure is overwhelmed.

        Combination of older population, high percentage of smokers and overwhelmed medical system that can’t provide supportive care to many who are being triaged.
