That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that most cases are caught immediately. Zero deaths really doesn't signal a cure. Low infections -> less chance of deaths. If you only have 200-300 cases a year, then there's a good chance you'd have no deaths. So no, zero deaths doesn't mean cure, it can just as well mean very low transmission.
