FYI those numbers you posted show a 4% fatality rate...that's pretty drastic difference from 0.04%

Ha, you're right, of course. I relied on my math-challenged business partner who shared the calculation with me earlier. I really should have known to check him, lol, thanks for the correction.

Italy bumbled the response out of the gate, their population mostly ignored government calls for social distancing and are now facing 7% mortality rate...SEVEN PERCENT! Stay home, we gotta get this down by the neck and choke it out.
