Default It is increasingly looking like this was

Over hyped.

If the antibody testing we’ve seen at Stanford, in LA, and in Boston is typical of the nation as a whole, the actual case-fatality rate is WAY LESS than initially predicted and the spread is already far greater than we initially believed. We may have done far more damage with overzealous shutdowns than the virus would have done - or will do - with the disease.

ultimately, case-fatality rates may well resemble just a bad flu year. In the meantime, 30% of small businesses are probably gone forever.
