Program:  Club Assembly led by President Dean
 
Dean presented actual data from Johns Hopkins, CDC and WHO regarding COVID-19.  Eighty percent of people who are infected recover within 2 weeks.  In China, with the significant quarantine, the rate of illness is now dropping.
 
Statistically, men are twice as likely to succumb as women, especially where there is underlying illness.
COVID-19 is significantly virulent.  Historically, pandemics recur after viral mutation, so a recurrence of COVID19 may reemerge in future seasons.
 
There was discussion of sources of mis-information and where to get correct information.
