to be fair he is merely quoting recent studies done by Stanford, Oxford, the CDC and elsewhere. the CFR is looking more and more like it will shake out to be similar to a bad seasonal flu with a skew toward the elderly and leaving children basically unaffected.
he didn't write the papers he is quoting them.
