Still pretty hard to really prove that data isn't it? 100,000+ deaths in the US in 4 months is 3x+ what the flu would get over twice that period. It'll take a long time before we antibody test enough people to really prove those numbers. Based on how the US numbers continue to inch down I'm thinking that having a bad "early" COVID season might be a good thing for our later results. Brazil's numbers are terrible and rising and thats after having very low numbers in the initial 4 months. -Curt

The risk was initially overestimated because many people with only mild or no symptoms were not taken into account.
