That's 90,000 in Wuhan alone, not in all of China.

So to scale, multiply by ~110 == 10 million cases of pneumonia.

And early reports are about 16% of the coronavirus cases are in serious or critical condition; maybe 10% need intubation or respirators.

Take *that* nationwide and it'll collapse ANY health care system.

By the way, did you see the Director of the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health talking about the possibility for crash research into multiple vaccines where money is not an object? In public. Under his own name. In so many words.

From the previous post: I would like to describe the condition inside the Hubei province, as well as the outbreak situation in the entire China. Currently, there are already 90,000 cases of pneumonia contraction

So I don't know if 90k is the city with 11m or the province with 58m or the country. Probaby the province from that wording. That's 155 per 100,000 whereas ours is about 25 per 100,000 right now.

16% of the coronavirus cases

We really have no idea how many cases there are because the mild ones are unreported.

I would expect a serious response to the epidemic including multiple vaccines, no different from other respiratory viral diseases. On that twitter feed the guy reiterates that we have no idea what the lethality is.
