Rebecca Watson had a good video on the MV Hondius # hantavirus outbreak. She mentioned the 2020 Diamond Princess outbreak. So I looked at the math. Diamond Princess had 3,711 aboard. 712 were infected with # Covid (19% infection rate) 14 deaths (2.0% case fatality rate) 14 deaths / 3711 exposures = 0.3% mortality rate MV Hondius had 175 aboard 11 infected so far (6% infection rate) 3 deaths (27% case fatality rate) 3 deaths / 175 exposures = 1.7% mortality rate Why all the calm mongering?
