that 10 times figure actually brings the new coronavirus’ fatality rate lower than official estimates, which hover around 3 percent...

Which means we will ALL LIVE if we get it and we’re under 80 and don’t have another condition, with VERY FEW exceptions.

But let the panicking begin.... :)

Regardless of the fatality rate (which I personally don’t believe to be 1% based on a heck of a lot of other reading - it’s likely the 3-5% we HAVE SEEN elsewhere), anyone infected still has a 15-20, “20-something” (also Fauci, about a week ago) chance of “requiring serious medical intervention including hospitalization and potentially ICU (5%)”.

Oh, and the “mild to moderate” cases (80% or so) can be “up to pneumonia”. Guess it’s all semantics as to what “mild to moderate” means, when you’re trying to calm the sheep.

If you guys want to scoff at a basically 1 in 5 chance of winding up in the hospital, likely intubated and possibly in ICU - have at it!

Every few years a thousand or more die from heat waves or cold snaps in Europe. Stuff happens. Those fueling the Wu Fu hoax should know better.

agree-the real story is about the panic.

It might be 1%, but on fatalities is probably closer to Germany’s numbers 1,853 cases and 3 deaths or S Korea with 7.755 cases and 60 deaths-.007% the difference between these countries and others reporting higher rates are they are testing more people and most cases are mild and unreported in the other countries so higher fatality rate by age it is 0.2% under 40, but 10 to 14% over 80 . total fatalities are 4,500 with 96% in China, Iran or Italy, see https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

10 TIMES sounds so much worse than 3%, so guess what the media will run with.

Well, my wife and I are not 80+ or even 60+, but we each have different (and very common) “underlying conditions”—and if we get it, our odds of surviving are supposedly somewhere between about 9/10 to 14/15.

Not “catastrophic” odds.

But also not “ordinary flu.”

Why bother. If 10,000,000 get infected that's only 100,000 deaths. About a football stadium full of people. Don't ask how many hospital beds would be required to hold it to that figure.

Now if it spreads like the Swine Flu virus this would mean 60,000,000 infections. And 600,000 deaths.

Apparently no big deal. Certainly no reason to panic.

For some.

Well, I'm a only a sexagenarian even though at the higher end of the range.   I'm overweight, just at the edge of obese, with type 2 diabetes well controlled with pills, diet and exercise only, no injections, well controlled HBP, and high cholesterol. I have some calcified plaque that does not prevent me from doing strenuous cardio exercise five days a week, hoping to flush some of that away along with taking atorvastatin (generic Lipitor).   Also, I've been getting flu shots every season since 1975 with the first one in the USAF.

I'm not afraid in the least of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).   The flu has plagued humanity for several thousand years. You cough, feel sick, some die.   Next year some people will feel pretty silly about the panic and hysteria.

Partner, we have never seen such panic put on by the DemonRat journalists. It is a great post.

BTW, you are correct in saying it will affect the folks that are over 80 years of age.

We will not panic since it is getting warm in my area and it is already the middle of March. It is the biggest con job put on the American Populace that we have ever seen.

This is all about getting President Trump out of office since their darling Miss Hillary lost in the 2016 presidential election and they were crying after the election. I doubt this Bud Lite virus will get more than .5% of the U.S. population except where folks are in direct contact with Chicoms from China. Let's see California and Washington states are in direct firing line and we have too many folks affected by this virus in these states.
