A few case studies have come out over the Coronavirus, and what you generally see is that smokers, people with existing problems (weakened immune systems) and older folks...are the primary ones who are in the death column. I might add the condition in Wuhan...of a heavily polluted air situation, and that might give you an extra negative factor against most folks.

From this group in Bavaria affected by the one Chinese business woman, most of these people were 30 to 50 years old, and in decent health...with no one dying. One of the guys had a 102.5 temperature for two days, and roughly 3 days after that...he was all pumped up (well) and ready to return to work.

I think for 90-percent of us...it’s just a four-star flu condition, and seven to ten days of house rest.

Shhhh don’t tell the truth. A terrified population is easily controlled and bows the knee to anyone who can “rescue” them. Look, there is cash money to be made just like we all died from swine flu, bird flu and sars.
This time though, we might *really* die.
So stop the economy and stop living. Ir else.

outdated study - many Chinese ages 10-100 in otherwise good health, not medical workers, nonsmokers, infected and dead. not an agist virus, not a racist virus but an equal opportunity infector. Not the Flu. Not the Common cold.

wait another 60 days to learn what is up as the US enters the same stage as China is in now.

I've read elsewhere that the air quality in Wuhan is so bad that it's the equivalent of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. For sake of argument, let's assume that's true. Add on top of that a weakened immune system and older Chinese males who are known to smoke heavily and I think we have a confluence of factors that drive the number of deaths in China.

As someone who does have a compromised immune system (ankylosing spondylitis, a genetic condition that drives out of control inflammation of the spine, joints and major organs) I have to keep an eye on the progression of this virus across continents and into the United States.

One last comment: someone on here yesterday posted a good thread about prepping for the coronavirus here in the US. People such as myself would do well to find it and follow it, just sayin'.
