Here is the article - sad, hopeful and amazing stuff in here.

First, 16 deaths is very very very sad. These are people who, for the most part are elderly, and the majority have significant other health issues.

92 tested positive out of 162 there. Which is a lot. Incredibly interesting is that 53 "show no symptoms of the illness." That means that almost exactly half of those infected (if you include the 16 who have passed away) show no symptoms. Craziness that 50% of the people who we know are the most vulnerable to this virus show no symptoms at all. Of course some could develop symptoms in the coming days, but that is just a crazy number. As they say in the article - how do you effectively stop the spread of something when half the people are showing no signs of it, even those who are much vulnerable seem to show no signs.

Also crazy to think that a virus that in half the people doesn't make them sick at all is also killing good percentage of people who get it. Crazy disease.
