"Here in Harrison Co Texas there have been 120 confirmed cases with 14 deaths. That is more than 10% death rates ..."
TGW, can you clarify on that, please?
I'm feeling that the (120) is not the denominator in the 'death rate' calculation.
That would be the case-fatality rate, the number of deaths per people who test positive for the virus. If you only test the sickest people, this rate will go up.
