Didn't do a great job on this AP News article on coronavirus - only four bullet points, two of them repeated: https://apnews.com/545af824f44a22f7559c74679a4f1f53.

I tried the advanced summarizer and got the lines below. Seems to me it skips summarizing beyond a certain length of the article.

Most people have had mild to moderate illness and recovered, but the virus is more serious for those who are older or have other health problems.

The risk of virus transmission from food servers is the same risk as transmission from other infected people, but “one of the concerns in that food servers, like others facing stark choices about insurance and paychecks, may be pressured to work even if they are sick,” she said.

Tests have found high amounts of virus in the throats and noses of people a couple days before they show symptoms. Flu kills about 0.1% of those it infects, so the new virus seems about 10 times more lethal, the National Institutes of Health’s Dr. Anthony Fauci told Congress last week.

The death rate has been higher among people with other health problems -- more than 10% for those with heart disease, for example.

The Basic Summarizer has its restrictions. Try Advanced summarizer. It will give better results.
If the Basic Summarizer is meant to convince me to sign up for the Advanced Summarizer, that's not gonna happen with the former providing unconvincing results.
