    • Iran: 591  
    • US: 51; with one new death; 12 / 209 = 5.7% fatality rate

      • that's the nature of infectious diseases
      • more testing will be done as more and more test kits become available
      • quarantine is entirely voluntary (it was reported this past week that a numbskull from New Hampshire visited his physician for fever/cough; was diagnosed to have coronoavirus infection; told to quarantine at home; instead, went to a "mixer" that night for medical professionals)
      • huge amount of travel between Seattle/Silicon Valley and China
  • Deaths 
    • With 41 new deaths today, Italy has recorded almost 30% more new deaths than China (32) today. The Chinese number is "final" for the day; the Italy number could yet rise.
