IMHO, there is no way that the Corona virus is not already here. Too many people traveled to China and back to the U.S. in December. We have most likely already been dealing with it in our health system - people with flu and pneumonia. Except in two places in the U.S., we can’t even test for it - the CDC kits are faulty. So we have no way of knowing it is not here. Since most cases are mild (and people don’t even know they have it) I think the % of deaths are being overstated because the % of cases are being understated, even though we can never trust China to tell the truth. That being said, especially if you are over 80 and contract it, the effects are gruesome.
Agreed. It's here and the government I THINK is doing the right thing. We can't stop it but why panic about it? IF it kills only 2% to 3% there's literally nothing we can do about that. We can ONLY try to not contract it ourselves.
