        so far, the reports of reinfection appear to be false. those are individuals who just didn't clear the infection fully in the first place. don't know about the fertility question. only saw one study on that. (O.O)

        0.7% mortality? That's extremely optimistic given the rates worldwide are between 3% and 6%

        Yes under 1% seems to be if a health service can manage the number of cases effectively. As soon as the health service gets stretched your up towards 3/4%
