You can see this in provincial level mortality rates: at low infection concentrations, it's a more deadly than flu but nothing insane. But once resources are swamped (e.g. in Hubei), the mortality jumps an order of magnitude.
- SgtBastard 7y agoThank you. I have this constant argument with those that want to shut borders and blow up our economy as a result: that if you break the stats down on Hubei vs everywhere else, it’s a very different picture of the virulence and mortality rates. Hubei’s mortality rate for literally everything at the moment would expected to be higher than anywhere else given how stretched their resources are.
- austhrow743 7y agoI don't understand. How is the mortality rate being worse when resources are stretched thin a point in favour of not shutting borders?
