Well,
The only thing that be called reasonable statistic is the number of deaths and that hasn't spiked - I hate to say - yet. It's possible hospitals are even missing those, it's a big country. And it's a dispersed country so things might not spread as quickly.
But other, what you say. Stopping large public events and doing mass testing seems crucial. South Korea seems to have gotten a handle on their infection process at the moment things are out-of-hand in Italy. South Korea has done mass testing for a while.
- KnightOfWords 7y agoIt takes 6-41 days for covid-19 to kill, with 14 days being the median. The death rate is going to lag behind the cases of infection by a few days.
- joe_the_user 7y agoYeah but deaths are still the most unambiguous, the thing that inadequate testing and controls are least likely to hide. A lot of hidden infection would appear at least some death - several days I pointed to mortality rates as the biggest marker for areas where infection would spike. I am not happy to be right about this since this awful however you cut it but there you are.
