Does this give you comfort that we are further along than we expected to be at the beginning of this outbreak? The worst is yet to come.
There is a flaw in your reasoning where you somehow think the mortality rate is somehow static. It is actually going to be more dynamic. We currently have the benefit that the majority of hospitals haven't hit the critical point yet. What happens in the upcoming weeks with the exponential increase in cases and more and more hospitals start to have dwindling capacity, lack of supplies, PPEs, health care workers becoming infected, communicable spread, etc? Please remember, we are still in the infancy stage of all this. It is going to get worse. But then what do I know, I am simply a healthcare worker in a hospital. On behalf of myself, my fellow colleagues, and our patients; thank you for the concerns. Please quit acting like the worst is behind us
