Interesting data points you provide in your response, truly

The numbers I have seen in my research vary widely even outside of China. Certainly social considerations and conditions in each country vary as well as the net result of recovery or fatality.

Identifying and minimizing risk factors is the right way to go. The potential root cause of the virus in China has varied over time from a fish market to eating bats or other possibilities.

Transmission is a key issue, and initial isolation of patients to prevent unknown methods until it is isolated is sound. Unless and until it is better identified and isolated as it seems to be underway now it certainly does not seem to have the fertile ground that it came from as in China.

To your point on numbers, China has been shall we say secretive in releasing numbers but the side effects will change the nature of business forever. The location or epicenter seems to be near if not dead on in a major manufacturing area and that will change supply chain models around the world.

Many labs are hot on the trail to test vaccinations to prevent it and that is a good thing. And last it may be spreading widely in China but they have as you say the ability to isolate cities and lockdown things that would never fly here in the US

Watching closely, more going on than we know but it is serious business and people are recovering steadily now and recovering so it is not a death sentence

The Dems better consider the homeless and sanctuary cities. Perfect breathing grounds for disease. They own them and have encouraged their existence. Be careful what you wish for morons.

I have read that the death rate from flu is about .05%. The Chinese said that the death rate from Coronavirus is 2.3%. That seems to correspond about with what we have here with just one death. Of course it’s hard to get a good read with such a small number of cases and only one death. But if you divide 2.3 by .05 you see that the death rate for Coronavirus is about 46 times that for flu.

If it becomes widespread then a lot of life insurance companies and health insurance companies will go bust.
