Unless the race, age and underlying medical history of those infected and affected by the CODIS-19 coronavirus is known, the current numbers released tell little about the infectivity of this virus and just who is likely to become severely ill. Thus far the CDC, while no doubt collecting such information, has not released the data either to the American people or health care professionals.
Thus far, while there has been extensive travel by thousands from the Wusan epicenter to multiple points in the United States, there have been no China or Korea type outbreaks. The region in Italy where the outbreak occurred is heavily populated with Chinese immigrants and Asian workers. Iran was transversed by the Silk Road and conquered by the Mongols. Many Africans and Caucasians lived and worked in Wusan yet few became ill and none were known to have died
Very politically incorrect to publicize or release data suggesting that Asians have a greater propensity to become infected and then seriously ill. However time will define the truth regarding COVID-19.
