Re: Coronavirus Thread. Virus v humans

I'd question whether the translation is referring to the effects the virus has on the human body or the amount of people infected and infecting others.

I'd have to assume that it's the latter. Combine distancing with better treatment and testing and you'd expect to see better outcomes.
