While I agree the current death to confirmed cases ratio in the U.S. looks


bad, 8 of the 14 deaths are residents of the nursing home in Washington. The virus hit the worst possible place it could in that case. No nursing home population is going to fare well with this or any other flu like virus for that matter. Also, the validity of the ratio is dependent on having an accurate number of cases. That is where I think the U.S. is failing. We've tested an embarrassingly low number of people. There is no way we know how many people actually have this thing.
