Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

I wouldn't focus much on the Wuhan story, as their numbers can't really be trusted much one way or the other. The story out of Bergamo is a lot more interesting, and the methodology - matching up normal death numbers with recorded numbers of deaths this year, and comparing that to the increase expected due to Covid-19 - seems legit. I'd like to see more examples of that e.g. from the UK though before I'd accept this translates to generally much higher death numbers though.
