They are contemplating open things back up in April
Their average age for a coronavirus death is 79.5 years. Since they are only testing those with appearent symptoms, they are estimating that the number of cases are closer to 100,000. That would bring the mortality rate to about 2%, which is the worldwide average.[/u]

That's good news if that's true (and lord knows we can all use some encouraging news). Italy is one of the hardest places hit, I'm a bit skeptical of the prospect them returning to near normalcy in April. But if it does, it's a good sign for all of us.

South Korea is encouraging as well. Even if we will be clear for now, just be prepared for a second wave, perhaps next fall/winter. This may be endemic, until it mutates into a gentler strain or we develop an effective vaccine.

The ability to test will be a huge step up
