This would make the percentage of deaths less than 1%...
This does sound like an assumption on my part, but figures relating to deaths would be reasonably accurate, whereas, you can only guess how many people are infected if you don't test everyone...
And why do they express it as 'Cases per million' instead of a percentage?
For best effect I'm betting...
Interesting that the UK figures are 394,257 which comes out at just over 1%....for the percentage of deaths...

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
There were dire warnings on this mornings radio news that the UK could go the way of Victoria if something is not done urgently.That sounds pretty serious. Is that what you are being told?
Even at 1% mortality that is 500 deaths a day! and if Victoria is anything to go by the economic effect is dramatic, The Victorian lockdown alone nearly halved Australia's production.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
This is yesterdays news report so a bit out of date but about half way through deals with USA, Europe and Asia. It deals with the John Hopkins Uni numbers. Anyway you might find it an interesting point of view.Victoria had 28 cases today so their improvement continues.

It is creeping up on 1 million dead world wide from this virus (less than a week perhaps?). India will soon overtake the USA as the country with the most cases.

It’s an absolute disaster .
Half the people think it’s some sort of conspiracy theory .
An excuse for not taking precautions .
The government has vacillated putting it trust in the herd immunity theory but now looks like it will take sterner actions ( threats of the army coming in)
Our economy is totally Donald Ducked .
