IT's worse when public guessing becomes generally irresponsible "public ignorance"... Like when the journalists who for a large measure are not skilled at how ANYTHING really works, take the #dead divided by the #reported and CALL IT -- a death rate.. That's irresponsible and dangerous and potentially FAR MORE DANGEROUS than "guessing in public".... Because for infectious epidemics it's #dead/#infected.. And right now the SCIENCE IS -- the #infected is anywhere from 2 to 50 times the #reported...
And bottom line. THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT # for this ENTIRE medical/political REACTION to Covid-19 and WE DONT KNOW IT YET... We're "guessing in public"....
