re: #200 Dr Lizardo

Same here - the 90K/100K number of infected has been claimed over the last 24 hours or so. It actually wouldn’t surprise me at all - and it would certainly serve to explain the hardcore measures Beijing is taking, which seem to be disproportionate to the official numbers.

We certainly have to be careful about all these numbers — after all if there were indeed 56 deaths among 100K cases — and those infected were recovering — then the mortality rate is in line with the normal seasonal flu. Of course, given it’s China and this is a novel disease, we cannot be assured that any of these numbers are accurate.
