The W model is very concerning. If this works out we are in for a rough year. And lots of more deaths. The stupid factor needs to be entered as a variable also.

Interesting. It puts the death rates in perspective to hear of it surpassing death from heart disease. Truly a large scale killer. "about 4.4% of those diagnosed with the disease dying from it." I think the death rate is lower than 4.4%, because the number of positive cases is much, much higher than the diagnosed number. I don't know if government officials are talking about that, but a higher death rate was also first mentioned in China until more and more testing was done and numbers were brought down. The same is happening here, I believe.
