| Bookworm Room via Instapundit I have a few things I want to say about coronavirus or Wuhan Virus. I’ll start with the little stuff and build up to the big stuff. ...This is a flu. It is an aggressive flu in the very elderly and those who have compromised immune systems. Some unlucky people who are neither old nor already ill may still be among those who end up desperately ill or dying. Life is not fair. Children seem to be immune to the disease’s ill effects. This is probably because children have wonderful lungs. As one gets older, one’s lungs stop being quite so wonderful. |

| #6 “Coronavirus in South Korea: How 'trace, test and treat' may be saving lives,” “Health officials believe this approach may be saving lives. The fatality rate for coronavirus in South Korea is 0.7%. Globally the World Health Organization has reported 3.4% - but scientists estimate that the death rate is lower because not all cases are reported.” |

| #3 Northern Italy is the industrial portion of the country. Second, Italians (and Euros) smoke far more than Americans. Two factors in this contagion's mortality rate. Just to point out a prior SCOTUS opinion - you don't have the right to scream fire in a crowded theater. |

| #1 It broke out in Italy first because Italy is very heavily connected to China. It's the fashion industry. Designed in Italy, made in China. There are towns in Italy where most of the population is Chinese. |
