That pic is worth a million words.
And thats EXACTLY what the communists want for the rest of the country: for the “unwashed masses” to live in utter squalor, as cattle to be milked, while they live like royalty.
Anyone who supports, condones, upholds and/or votes or the CommunistRAT party is not only a traitor to America, but in more so, a traitor to themselves.

Also depends on transmissibility; and the mutation rate, more specifically, how quickly it mutates to less lethal / less transmissible forms. Average number of flu cases in the US each season is between 9 million - 45 million cases. So that's a range of fatalities from 270,000 to 1.35 million. DEAD.

A million dead in the US is nothing to sneeze at (pardon the macabre humor).

I wonder what the incubation time is. Some flu viruses take 5 weeks.

Wuhan has been quarantined by the PRC.

No flights or trains out of the city.

483 cases and 17 deaths, about a 3.5 percent mortality rate.
(471 Chinese cases + the number of cases outside China=483)

Traffic accidents will kill more people this week than the coronavirus will kill this year.

It seems it’s not only the dems who have lost their minds.. Don’t we hear enough of this garbage without FReepers wallowing in it?

It's all about reaching risk.
