Vietnam is not an honest government by any measure so of course one should take the number of cases of coronavirus they report with a healthy dose of skepticism.

In my view, this virus won’t affect Quang Nam or KBL ... except in a positive way as has been mentioned about Lam Dong needing eggs now as they can’t get them from China.

And, while it’s not good for anyone to have their life shortened by illness, I think these stats are going to start coming to forefront in the minds of the public such that people under 60 will start to realize this is not too much different than the flu if you are healthy aside from the virus without: asthma or diabetes or COPD. That alone would take the 50s rate to 0.4%. About twice the mortality rate of common flu.

AGE DEATH RATE
all cases
80+ years old. 14.8%
70-79 years old 8.0%
60-69 years old 3.6%
50-59 years old 1.3%
40-49 years old 0.4%
30-39 years old 0.2%
20-29 years old 0.2%
10-19 years old 0.2%
0-9 years old. no fatalities
