Coronavirus Death Rate--Lower or Higher than Previously Suspected?

"Coronavirus Death Rate May be Lower than Previously Suspected."

N.S.: This report is Pollyannaish. I know of individual NYC nursing homes, in which two patients per day are dying, almost certainly of Chinese Virus, none of whom is being classified as such, because none of them is being tested. Granted, they are old people, but counting them would considerably inflate the death rate.

They were first talking one or two million deaths. Now the number has been reduced by a factor of ten. But of course they were always dealing with imprecise and often deliberately misleading information. Hard to make a reasonable assessment in such circumstances.
