I dont believe it and you shouldn't either. A virus with this level of communicability and a 2 week incubation period could be a civilization-ender at 5% mortality.
The numbers are grossly incomplete and should not be trusted. It's misinformation like this that causes hysteria.
Edit to add that I want to be 100% clear that I am NOT in the camp that thinks this is no big deal or that wants hockey above all else. My mother is in an assisted living home and my father is elderly and out in the world. I am very concerned for people's safety and well being. The only thing I am commenting in is the fact that just because Austin Matthew's and 10 other players tested positive, I don't see it as a reason to abandon the plan to resume games. I feel as if positive tests are inevitable as all these players are returning from all over the globe. Test, isolate, test some more.
