I got an excellent question from @504inHouston1, asking how scientists are accounting for the differences in mortality rates between countries. This is a question a large number of researchers are attempting to answer, including here at @UTHealth
Italy has an overall mortality rate of roughly 7.2, with the largest proportion of individuals with infections occurring in the 70-79 age-range and the 80-89 age-range
A colleague of mine has an excellent writeup with figures showing the different age distributions between South Korea and Italy facebook.com/101805971467321…

I’ve been getting so many great questions from students, friends, and family I thought this was a great opportunity to start tweeting about the concepts I am discussing with my students and why #SocialDistancing and #Quarantine are being implemented
