Number dead doesn't matter it's the death rate and I think nid is spot on. Don't ignore that .1% die of the flu and death rate of Covid19 is 2.3% to 3.5% (depending on source). We;ve studied the flu for years, we know nothing about this virus. So your typical Parker owner (who is older) is 25X+ more likely to die if they get it. It's like putting an unknown shot shell in an un-inspected damascus barrel (gotta keep it gun related right?). It's an unknown how many will get this. Here in Vestal they are cancelling all elective surgeries like knee replacements and things are starting to shut down including dentists. I don't think it's hysteria it's just uncharted territory we're in. This is worth a look and why social distancing works better than quarantines:
