Wall Street Journal has several articles on Covid-19 on Wednesday.
Vaccines for Covid-19 are estimated to cost $50 to $100 each. Some companies have pledged to sell for no profit. Moderna has not, and needs a profit on its first product ever.
WSJ says death rate from Covid-19 has been narrowed to between 0.53 to 0.82%. CDC changed its estimate to 0.65% This would be six times deadlier than typical influenza.
I notice the article does not mention that some recover using T-cells, and test negative for Ig antibodies, so I personally suspect the death rate of ALL infected is lower still, maybe 0.2 to 0.4% .
Ted Rail has an article on page A15 bringing up a Covid-19 factor I had not thought of, but it might be too political to post here.
