It sounds like they weren’t tested, but presumed to have the virus.

On the Diamond Princess the death rate is 1.4%, or 14x higher than the flu.

But if you overlay age demographics onto USA population it drops to like <0.2%

That is old data. They are now up to 10 deaths.

No, I missed that last line. In any case, those extra deaths probably explain

I'm a little skeptical of their characterization of the practice

I'd like to be a fly on the wall and see how members interacted before...

So it goes...

There was tray full of mandarin oranges they provided. It wasn't as sanitary as

Oh, not much was going on. But the potato salad was good.
