I thought SK was an ally. Why are they using these scare tactics?

I hope that reflects increased testing and not just people showing up at the hospital.

Either way, it’s out of control.

We need to stop air traffic from S. Korea now.

16 out of 2931 gives a mortality rate of 0.00545. This is definitely catastrophic and makes it one of the most deadly viruses of all time./s

They should learn to rename the virus like some other countries are doing and the problem fades away.

The cases are (rapidly) increasing.

It has only really been one week.

It's 17 now. And most of the 2931 are still sick. It seems to take at least a week and sometimes two to die if one has been hospitalized so it will increase over time unfortunately.

“Looking more and more like we will all get this new cold, at some point.”

And so far the pattern for severity, least to greatest, appears to be:

1) Non-Asian/Non Smoker
2) Non-Asian Smoker
3) Asian Non Smoker
4) Asian Smoker

I’m a category 1...more troubled by the epidemic of fear than by COVID-19 itself.

That’s nothing. Try this:

2019-2020 US flu season statistics (so far):
29,000,000/280,000/16,000/200
Cases/hospitalized/deaths/children deaths

What’s going on with the Corona virus in NK? NK hasn’t been in the news of late.

Another way to look at it is...

They have the flu in Korea as well, just like the US.

You state statistics from the US for an entire year. The cases in Korea started two weeks ago.

Imagine all of these new cases are landing on top of the existing flu cases.

That is the problem. This will overwhelm any local system.

It’s not about getting sick or dying. It’s about systems.
