Will this be a classic case of not believing what a politician says, rather what they do?

Going by the numbers in your post this is up to a 4.15% kill rateā€¦ and people still think itā€™s not as bad as the flu

The kill rate is going to be skewed as they arenā€™t doing wide spread testing yet. Iā€™m sure when more start getting tested the infected will go way way way up. If youā€™re only testing the severely Iā€™ll of course itā€™s going to look real bad. Itā€™s either going to stay consistent or a glimmer of hope

Very true. So many people that have mild cases are not even tested. Not to mention asymptomatic.

So hereā€™s a kickerā€¦ with the max 50 people at a gathering thingā€¦ I was driving home from work which passes through a reserve. And all the parking around the long house was fullā€¦ minimum 50 cars. Just like it was any other day

Itā€™s the same in most of Europe actually.
