12 hours later. 4,474 infected, 107 dead, 63 recovered 107/170 is 63%. I'm not convinced it's just slight worse than the flu. CDC estimates 35 million people in the US had the flu, with 34,157 deaths in 2018-2019. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/

I like the second article a lot, but there’s no mention of communications. I’d likely have good radios in each vehicle as well.
