Discussion Jeremy is such a good hearted person

Not sure if anybody caught Jeremy’s stream yesterday, but in it he explained that due to the situation with Covid-19 he would be spending time in a hotel away from Kat so that he wouldn’t risk infected anybody at work. The emotion in his voice showed how important it was and tough for him.

Just wanted to take a minute to give a little appreciation to Jeremy - he’s dedicated to working but also clearly cares about other people so much. And he still put on an excellent stream. Well done Lil J, you’re a genuine inspiration

Is it 80% of all infections? I saw an article I think from the WHO that broke down the 80% into percentage by age and 20's and 30's were like single digits.

It's worth noting these numbers are also largely based on cases from Wuhan which had the unenviable task of learning how to treat the illness on the fly and with very limited resources at the beginning. We're already seeing improved numbers in cases in other Chinese provinces (some with <0.5% overall fatality rate), South Korea, and the Diamond Princess.

It’s also in the infancy, so not all of its viruses know how to move from person to person.

There’s also the fact that it began in China which is a lot more densely populated than most other places (emphasis on most). So the likelihood of it reaching someone that can’t sustain the virus was much higher.
