Reassuring Highlights
- “We can test for it.”
- “Catching it is not that easy (if we are careful) and we can kill it quite easily (provided we try).”
- “In most cases, symptoms are mild, and young people are at very low risk. According to a study of 45,000 confirmed infections in China, 81% of cases caused only minor illness, 14% of patients had symptoms described as “severe”, and just 5% were considered “critical”, with about half of those resulting in death.
- “People are recovering from it. As the daily count maintained by the Johns HopkinsCSSE shows, thousands of people around the world are making confirmed recoveries from the coronavirus every day.”
