Keep in mind that mild cases would not even go to a doctor, and thus not show up on statistics.
And how do those stats match up to "cases" of more common flu strains?
Most flus are a Hillary.
According to more and more sources (WeChats / YouTubes / Tweets smuggled out of China; "co-worker's sister who lives in Wuhan"; doctor-to-doctor communications informally; online chat rooms for Chinese taxidriver, which some of our governmental agencies lurk on; etc. etc....
China long ago passed the point that mild cases would not go to a doctor; now even those who would otherwise be in the intensive care unit, are waiting 12-14 hours to be SEEN at a hospital, and cannot be given beds because "they have not been confirmed with the virus" ...and there is a chronic shortage of test kits.
What you are seeing in China is the total breakdown of the healthcare establishment.
To be followed by worse: has the government lost the "mandate of heaven" ?
Recall that before this epidemic, about half of China's pigs died of "Swine Ebola".
And that a few days ago, it was announced that H5N1 is breaking out among chickens in Hunan Province.
...try not to think about the US "just in time" supply chain which depends so much on China.
Like Cardinal Medical, which just had to recall about a zillion surgical gowns made in China, because they were found to be non-sterile.
I just saw a report on Fox where a guy who posted videos was hauled away by people in full hazmat suits. He was accused of being “infected” and hauled off to who knows where. Commies gonna be commies.

True, and Dr. Fauci mentioned that, but it wouldn’t make a good panic inducing headline that some Freepers fall for every time.
People should watch the entire interview if they want to calm down.
And they have much heavier air pollution and 50% or more of the men smoke. They have a lot of endemic public health problems that we haven’t had for 50 years or more.
I think the mortality rate will be much higher in China than here in the US. It might not even break loose here if everyone follows quarantine precautions properly.
