And if it is a bureaucrat collaborating with a Tencent techie it’s grim news: 15%-18% fatality rate. Once you get to the point of hospitalization there’s very little hope of recovery, 'leaked' figures showing much lower 'recovered' and much much higher confirmed cases vs official figures.

The curve that these ‘leaked’ numbers lie on projects >1B cases by the end of March. This is consistent with the 'worst case' epidemiological projections. Logarithmic grown is a terrifying thing.
