Sorry for ranting, you do not need to read this. I hope writing this down helps me sleep.
The Virus
There’s this new virus Covid-19 (formerly known as 2019-nCov), that is rapidly spreading. It will not be the end of humankind, there have been much worse pandemics in history, but it *will* kill and it *will* change our world.
Base facts:
- Mortality is around 1% (averaged over all age groups) *if and only if* you have access to intensive care units.
- Mortality increases to 3-5% if no intensive care is available
