I believe if you do some research you'll find that those numbers are, at least, somewhat tied to the extent of the measres taken to reduce or control interpersonal contact.
No societal counter measures taken and those higher numbers may well prove tragically accurate.
We have no way of knowing until it's over. Far better to err on the side of caution. To me, extreme caution is preferred, lives are at stake.
This thing is REAL. DON'T MAKE LITE OF IT! DON'T TAKE UNNECESSARY RISKS!
I've been down for a week with what may be covid 19. High fever, sore throat mild to moderate breathing difficulties, severe cough,etc. Been to the docs and hospital ER a couple of times.
They examine me but won't test unless I'm critical enough to admit as they don't have enough kits to meet current needs. Get sent home told to self quarenteen and y'all come back now if you get worse. SUCKS!
On the bright side my cough has very considerably improved and my temps have been normal since Saturday afternoon.
