“The most recent assessment is that the Wuhan Flu is much more contagious than ordinary flu viruses but is not quite as deadly.”
I thought it was the exact opposite.
When i get back to my laptop will post the link for that information.
After reading this comment I may “NOT” want to purchase ANYTHING made in China!!!
How does the coronavirus spread? (theGuardian)
When an infected person coughs or sneezes, they release droplets of saliva or mucus. These droplets can fall on people in the vicinity and can be either directly inhaled or picked up on the hands then transferred when someone touches their face, causing infection. For flu, some hospital guidelines define exposure as being within six feet of an infected person who sneezes or coughs for 10 minutes or longer.
Viruses can also be spread through droplets landing on surfaces such as seats on buses or trains or desks in school. However, whether this is a main transmission route depends on how long viruses survive on surfaces – this can vary from hours to MONTHS.

Yeah, me too.. I got COPD really bad and I've been seriously worried about the whole deal... :(
“Coronavirus is ‘very contagious’ but ‘we’ll get past this epidemic,’ top pharma CEO says”

“The new strain of coronavirus that has created a deadly epidemic in China is “a lot more contagious” than the flu, a top pharma CEO told CNBC.
“’What we have all learned is that the virus leads to a lower mortality than the flu virus, but it’s a lot more contagious, the virus is very contagious,’ he said. ‘I will not say it’s totally controlled yet, but I’m hoping that over the next few months that we will see it get under control.’”
