If:
40%-60% get the virus, that's, 3.08 - 4.62 Billion people infected.
at 1% death rate: 30.8 - 46.2 million deaths
at 2% death rate: 61.6 - 92.4 million deaths
at 10% death rate; 308 - 462 million deaths …
Likely to become the defining event of this generation ...
“Never waste a crisis.”
Maybe Pres. Trump can use this to arm twist the Dims into abandoning their open borders/sanctuary cities stand.
What’s the death rate for flu?
I’ve had corona before.
Finish the math, then revise your conclusions
According to the WHO daily sit rep the current death rate is 3.4% in China and 2.4% elsewhere.
If no vacine is developed soon alot of people will die.
Likely to be as “defining” as SARS, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, etc.
Which is to say, the only thing it will “define” is hyperbolic, fear-mongering b.s.
Six months from now, everyone’s going to be saying “Corona what?”
It just so happens that I know an American-trained Chinese-American MD (She is an internist, who is married to a Chinese businessman.), who now resides/practices in Shanghai.
Her comment was that IF the current death rate from COVID-19 remains about the same as “current trends” indicate, 40% MORE people in Mainland China will die each month from the ordinary/usual Winter FLU, than will from the current “Chrono Virus” epidemic.
(This is NOT to say that the Covid-19 virus is NOT deadly to SOME patients but simply to point out that Dr. Li believes that the current “media feeding frenzy” is MUCH OVERBLOWN “to sell soap”.)

Note to self: make another beer run before duct-taping all the doors and windows shut.........
The CDC report that 14,000 people have died and 250K have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season from influenza B and influenza A in the U.S. Where is the hysteria over this? Over 8000 people have died from the flu in the US just in 2020, but no concern from the Coronavirus groupies about these numbers.
And you folks have balls to lecture those of us who are a bit skeptical about Coronavirus as “whistling past the graveyard”?
Pfft
Some of the diseases of the end times will kill up 1/4 of the population.p
This ignores the idea that it is not a virus. Instead is the result of 5G in china
Beginning to wonder what effect the coronavirus news will have on the upcoming primary election day turnouts. Super Tuesday only one week away.
This all reminds me of that Eminem song where he says he’s got full blown aids and a sore throat. That’s what I call a bad day.
Mortality rates outside China are about 0.7%...
So far the primary evidence has been from countries with lousy healthcare. I’m not worried. We tend to know how to prevent and treat secondary infections.
In a month from now this won’t even be in the news cycle anymore.
