This is all while trying to reopen their economy and very poor compliance with social distancing and PPE. I mourn the present but also what this could become, in short order.

The death rate is very low relative to the number of cases, I wonder what’s going on:
- virus is losing it virility
- younger patients
- catching more asymptotic people
- better treatments
- cooking the books
- ....
If the hospitals start overflowing the number will ramp up but it’s currently very low compared to the recent sustained positive test rate.
