This bit is also interesting:



The information for Italy seems to be clear: COVID-19 is only deadly if you are both old and already sick. Remember, this is just information for Italy, not the world.

Edit: And as of 1:30 this afternoon, the governor of Idaho has just issued a state-wide stay at home order. Well, I'll take advantage of the forced time off and get some yard work done.
The information from Italy does not match the global information nor the information to date in NY.

Reality is we don’t really know yet. Maybe ease off on making the assumptions and conclusions for a while. You’ll end up being more accurate.
