Jesus you sound like my 9 year old.

I work in a hospital setting with some of the sickest patients admitted. I’m exposed to all kinds of shi7 every day. I wash my hands. And I don’t kiss patients on the mouth.

Seasonal flu kills something like 30,000 people a year in the US. Flu B is everywhere right now. Yet, you are worried about Wuhan? A virus that causes mild to moderate symptoms in the majority of people affected?

People create drama when they are bored.

Don't forget the Spanish flu started here.

That’s one theory. I love Crosby and read him in both undergrad and grad, but there’s more compelling evidence that it originated in Asia and simply mutated in the US.

Our company canceled all travel to China and asked all returning from China to work from home for 3 weeks.

I think 2% is too many considering it’s not a peak at all, AND considering that Chinese government tends to give distorted information in general.

Because 2% is a lot. And because those numbers are way too low.
