Not exactly my point. The frail and old die from flu in higher numbers than other adults. So if the same people die from Corona virus, it is basically no additional burden on the general population.
My impression by glancing at news items is CV is attacking the old and weak more than healthy adults.
I do not mean to undercut risks of CV. It probably is more contagious than standard flu. But the death stats look worse because CV is killing many of the same people who were going to die from standard flu.
To summarize what is the fatality rate from CV for adults between 18 & 65 who are healthy? That is the most critical stat.
I guess that's the frustrating part, not getting important data out of China. Wuhan's hospitals and government have failed so badly that I'm not sure their data is even meaningful. With infections ramping up in Singapore, SK and Japan, we will probably be getting better info, and we are a week or two behind them.
