There is this article that says the beginning of the end might be here for the coronavirus:

Hopefully the data that backs up the article isn't being massaged somehow.

It is so frightening at the rate this is growing.

17.5 K cases currently reported in mainland China.

11 cases reported in the US.

At least we are holding are own pretty well.

I was having a chat with a Korean woman the other day about this and she was saying that Asians have a habit of eating just about anything, no matter how nasty. It wasn't hard for me to take her word for it.

This came from the wet markets in Wuhan. Look it up and make yourself sick.

34,945 current cases and the numbers are still climbing. 12 cases in the US.

Meanwhile, the millions of cases of flu and 10's of thousands of deaths from it this year are meh.

Perspective. Yeah we don't know much about coronavirus but people get better after contracting it. Fatality rate is around 2% which is quite a bit higher than the flu but no where near the scary diseases like ebola or even SARS. Its unknown qualities and associated caution are necessary and drawing intense attention but it's a small blip compared to the deadly illnesses that are routine among us.

I have spent a considerable amount of time in China, Korea, and Japan. And I am not talking just tourist visits.

Believe me, what you report this lady saying is a load of c**p. Her fault, not yours I'd guess.

I found this webpage to be helpful. https://www.worldometers.information/coronavir ... eath-rate/ The WHO cautious that the 2% figure is very preliminary. At this stage, it is very difficult to estimate the case fatality rate. The final case fatality rate for SARS was triple some of the early estimates. The CFR for Spanish flu was much lower than that for SARS, but killed a large number of people because it was easily transmitted.
