This doctor is working on the absolute worst of cases and even they, it seems, have a high overall probability of survival. Also good to see some figures on the progression of the virus - 5-10 days of incubation, 1 week before symptoms either improve or worsen, then one more week before severe cases recover or die.
Regardless, we should all be paying attention to the quarantined cruise ships. In a few weeks or so we'll have much a more accurate mortality rate. I feel for those people but perhaps there is some comfort in knowing that their losses will not be without value.
