Consider linking or quoting to the source? I've seen some scary stuff written on this particular board over the last couple of days. Yet I find it strange that peope can quote the numbers but not give a source ?
Thanks to all those that do this.
Please consider before you write about numbers of potential people dying /catching Pneumonia etc that it might be helpful for lots of various reasons to just link to your source.

Especially because it seems most people are incapable of understanding statistics and therefore misuse them, causing untold panic to people who are already terrified...

I agree.
That's why I follow the WHO figures in general, and for Italy, where I am, the daily figures from the Protezione Civile.
