> I suspect the true numbers are about 10x-50x the reported confirmed cases. This is good in that it means the death rate is also off by that factor, but bad in that there will not be enough fear/incentive for the primary carriers (young adults) to adhere to adequate social distancing.
If the death rate is off by 10x-50x, isn't this approaching the death rate of seasonal influenza, in which case we didn't actually need to adhere to social distancing in the first place?
