What’s important too is what is the mortality rate?

Are we talking something that has a 50 percent mortality rate.

That would be a major cause for concern.

What’s the mortality rate for the non elderly who are relatively healthy?

Ebola spreading by a cough or sneeze is pretty terrifying.

Other illnesses, not so much.

I think it’s in the neighborhood of 2.76%, if we’ve been given good figures.

941/26

Please note the number of resolved cases. That could mean we could expect there to be more deaths in the infected group.

Lower mortality rate than SARs, but if it’s like the Spanish Flu (10% fatal), this thing could cause a lot of death - interrupt financial markets, etc

Exactly.. at this point it’s a lot of hype and fear
