"So far, this thing in China isn't that contagious."

Where are you getting your information on the transmission rates? Please tell me.

We all hope you are right, but maybe you just like to argue, or you are drunk or something. Who knows?

Here is one source I posted earlier:

"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD - the new coronavirus is a 3.8!!! How bad is that reproductive R0 value? It is thermonuclear pandemic level bad - never seen an actual virality coefficient outside of Twitter in my entire career. I’m not exaggerating... #WuhanCoronovirus #CoronavirusOutbreak"

I am not a statistical type of gal. Dont even know why I took it in college.

But it seems to me that the rate has been skewed by the fact that they gathered 10k people together to eat to break a world record after cases had been diagnosed. I dont have a link. everything i look at that talks about it is behind a paywall

“...but maybe you just like to argue, or you are drunk...”

I think you’re on to something there.
