The ‘Year of the Rat’ started with little celebration as the entire country of China is overwhelmed with the outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus.
Experts are now warning of the possibility of an epidemic. One doctor on Twitter discussed the danger of the Wuhan coronavirus:
(SEE tweets and charts)
...in China.
I live in the US. Different diseases have different mortality rates here than there.

Thanks, I feel much better. The cold is pandemic, wait, but you don’t die ... Thanks again Inspector Whatever.
For those of us that live in the US, this is like the rest of these scares, including Saris, Ebola, etc. I’d worry a lot more about slipping in the bathtub.
Seriously.

Exactly. If people are believing the numbers China is reporting and coming to a definite conclusion-well-they haven’t been paying attention. China isn’t even on the “trust but verify” level.
The US Govt. is usually lazy.
It’s not the mortality that you should be concerned about. It is the contagion factor that would overwhelm the nations hospital system.
That’s part of the problem, we won’t know the full impact until it gets to a place where we can have real numbers.
And on a related but happy note. Most of our antibiotics are made in China.
China is shut down at the moment.
Hope you don’t get strep throat before production begins again or we use up our stockpiles (think ‘just in time supplies’)
We need to help China fix this problem ASAP!!!!!
If bats are really the genesis of the bug, this will be the year of the flying rat.
China’s Chernobyl.
At least the Soviet Union was stingy with allowing her citizens to leave the country.
Could this be a planned “war offensive” by China?
Are we still smart enough to be really concerned?
Or are we watching “diversity,” and “climate change?”
I for one would like to hear from our CDC, about actions by the US, to keep us safe.

The population density, at “ground zero”, is high, so the spread rate has to also be high - the numbers don’t seem to be scary yet.
Seems to make sense - current spread rate is very similar to Flu and that’s in a very high density “ground zero” environment...
