2% mortality rate?
Closer to 10%. This is one of the worse examples of misinformation, something really needs to be done about it.
On the cruise ship, I think about 700 got the virus (20%) and 6 of them died.
706 infected, 600 active cases, 100 recovered, 36 in serious condition, 6 dead. So far.
The way the death rate is being calculated, you could just as easily look at the recovered compared to infected. Only 14% recover from the virus! So a 86% mortality rate!
