Hundreds of thousands of course is WW and 40 is in the US apparently just after it was introduced here.

We’ll see. Let’s hope it fizzles.

This may be serious, but it is almost trivial compared to polio.

I wonder what the anti-vaxxers have to say now.

As I understand it, the worry is not about how many are dead--yet--but about how contagious the virus is.

Once there is a downtrend on the contagion, the hysteria will pass.

Something like half of all Americans died of tuberculous in the 19th Century, including my great-great grandmother at 31.

If the WuHuFlu is indeed:

More contagious than the Flu and,

Has ~10x the mortality rate of the Flu and,

Is an add to the world’s current load of pathogens;

Then it’s likely to be a significant problem for a while.

The social separation actions taken publicly and privately to date may contribute to the US not becoming Italy. We should know in a couple of weeks.

Swine flu killed 3000 in the first 80 days , same rate and number for the Wuhan Corona flu now. Later it was found the percent of infection to death was less than 1 percent, and swine flu went on to kill 12,00 in the USA in the first year , and half million people world wide... if people are freaking this much out about 40 wait till this year progresses, !

But though the rate of the ACTUAL deaths per day was the same for Swine as it is now for Wuhan Corona and Swine turned out less than one percent fatal per infection after testing large numbers of people was done to find out the real number , the 12,000 deaths in USA, meant 1 in 30,000 chance of dying overall out of a US population of 3 million and nobody hoarded toilet paper and oat milk unlike the hysteria we have now,,

The only thing we should worry about is how many are likely to die. That is not going to be known until it runs its course.This year’s flu season has just about ended, and they aren’t really sure how many will have died, but it is in the 10’s of thousands. There are two main kinds, one of which is our old friend H1N1, which they estimate hits 58% of the people who get the flu each year. If that’s true, and it is also and estimate, then it kills 10-15,000 each year. This 19 is coming on the heels of the regular flu so 2020 will be a high overall death rate, but whether 19 will be a lot worse we won’t know until it ends.

Next year there will be a vaccine and test kits and it will go into the whole flu statistic where it probably will be ignored.

It's a half full or half empty situation.

Say you perfect the a flu-like virus to kill off a specific target population. The virus comes out and everyone panics then hides. Your virus isn't having the desired effect and the media is getting more eyeballs than they've had any time in the past decade spreading fear, uncertainty, doubt, best of all, panic over toilet paper and depends.

Not good for your virus reaching full potential, not good at all.

Might be time to tell everyone it's just the flu and call em' silly for being in a panic. That'd get em' back out to the flea markets, sports events, bars, and movie theaters, where your pride and joy virus could really live up to it's potential.

So, which best serves the puppeteers?

Panic or "It's just the flu"?
