The last thing I will add is a gross oversight on my own part, and one that seems to be made by others as well.
I was considering the mortality rate around 3.6% of those infected from information such as (roughly) 4250 deaths in 118,000 cases--but this is actually pretty inaccurate. Sure, if you think 4250/118000 == 3.6% that is true.
But we should only consider the cases that have run their course, for better or worse. Then you are looking at 4250 deaths and 64250 recovered (again, rough estimates). That is a total of 68500 cases that have been resolved. Looking at it that way, the mortality rate is really closer to about 6.2%

I am not changing my position overall, but the oversight needed to be pointed out once I saw it today.
All I can say is I wish to the best to all who are facing this crisis head-on, and hope the rest of us never have to.
