#2 as of earlier today 99% of infections (over 40k officially) are in China

also, all but two deaths (out of 1000+) in China

mortality rate is pretty high for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems but not otherwise

#5 seasonal flu vs Coronavirus 2019

Seasonal flu infects tens of millions of Americans, probably about 50M. Hospitalization approaches 1M in some years and as noted, deaths from 50k to 100k or so. It would be worse if people were not vaccinated. Also some people who were infected in earlier years are to some extent immunized. Finally, there are pretty well developed treatments for infected persons in the US (bed rest, acetaminophen, drink fluids).

We do not have a vaccine for Coronavirus 2019. Some people may have been immunized from related infections but this is not really known. As far as the mortality various estimates are between 1 and 5 percent of the infected. But for the elderly in China (over 60) it is estimated as 10% to 50%. Some of this high rate may be due to improper treatment (or to no treatment).

#6 Thx. IOW, at least 10x our flu mortality rate.

#7 If it was not contained in Wuhan (at least for the most part)it will not be contained, and what matters is how deadly it is. We will all be exposed, eventually - will 1% of us die or 50%?
