The New Mexico statistics are interesting.

So are the stats from Iceland. 737 confirmed cases. 2 Deaths. Which is a mortality rate of 0.27%.

Anyone know what Dr Lipkin has said about the statistics that are being quoted all over the media and from Government advisors?

I think this is happening all over the world. Many, many more cases than have been confirmed. Remembering that 80% of cases are mild and unlikely to be tested for or known about.

EDIT- Here is a link to the info Annie has posted-

I don't think anybody can put a time table on when it will be safe to relax our "stay-at-home" policy. It all depends on what happens with this virus.

Agree @ljimbo423.

"Sick Time: Dozens of Diseases Wax and Wane with the Seasons, Will COVID-19?" a March 20, 2020 Science Magazine article features an interesting chart of prior Epidemics by Season."

As you say no one knows if COVID-19 is seasonal at this point. @Hip
