We don't need to wait for stats, a healthy scepticism is better as we have been misinformed in many respects. Just observe the human behaviour and wade through the information sorting the wheat from the chaff. There are possible clues like the exceedingly large percentage of unrecovered and the familiar reference to patients as stable.
in addition, there is the issue of those who are 'recovered' but still retain the virus. They are recovered but infectious - what to do with them? They must leave hospital but they can't return to the community.
