RE: The virus. A look at the available data & my thoughts. Are you prepared? #COVID2019

Yes, sadly true! I guess we have to stay on our toes regarding new developments and more data being gathered around this pandemic. Interesting to me how broad the spectrum of risk assessments is at the moment. The data seems to clearly indicate that the more consequent counter measures are implemented/enforced the more the case number growth slows. Logical, right? But in most countries they still try to balance economics and health risks which leads to a slower than needed escalation in measures. Italy seems to be a great example and I'm pretty sure we'll see fast rising numbers especially in the US were the officials don't seem to have even the slightest grip on this.

To early to say, but based on the expertise of some of the virology experts that get a little more awareness now than a few weeks ago, we have to strap in for COVID19 for the new few years. Until 2/3 of the population aren't/weren't infected the "herd immunization" factor isn't reached.
