Good article.

[VeganFreeper]

The most important interesting info in the article is how to "correctly" calculate the mortality rate. The resulting mortality figures range between 10% and 20%.

What the article doesn't address is what happens to the people who neither die or recover. Will they eventually recover? Then they should be included in the mortality calculation (in the denominator).

Bottom line, there is probably more than one credible way to calculate a mortality statistic from the available data.
