I’ve read 4.8% lethality.
China is lying. Don’t believe anything from them. They’re facing collapse.
Well of course they’re lying, they are Sandernistas.....
Not to mention NK
In China it will be much higher then anyplace else as they administered a vaccine that made them far more at risk of a new strain of the same virus
I agree that this is a potentially very serious problem for us from a strictly medical POV (which ignores the commercial/economic aspects). However, even if China is major-league fuqued, a lot of that has to do with:
1) They smoke a LOT more than we do;
2) Their cities are a LOT more polluted than ours;
3) Their average nutritional status is definitely lower than ours, and not by a little; and
4) We have a FAR more capable medical infrastructure and a more educated populace.
In view of the above, whatever medical problems we have from the Kungflu is going to be much less than what China is dealing with now.
Yes, it looks like the coronavirus is much more lethal. The question is how contagious is it? I think it’s at least moderately contagious, and if that’s the case, the Chinese people are in big trouble.
