If we use the numbers floated of 20% infected and 2% fatality for those infected, that would be 3 deaths just at my kid’s elementary school. I can’t imagine how awful.

Too early for them to report meaningful numbers.

as of February 25, while Singapore had 91 confirmed cases and no fatalities.

EU fury: Why coronavirus plan was blasted by Germany for ‘not making sense’



THE EUROPEAN UNION is under fire as the coronavirus threatens the bloc's citizens - but Brussels' plan to deal with the crisis has been criticised by a German Health Minister who said "it doesn't make sense."

Ally of Angela Merkel – Jens Spahn – hit out at the EU's policy that individual members states act independently in dealing with the crisis because it meant many would continue allowing freedom of movement. At a meeting of health ministers this month, he called on the EU to "take responsibility" and provide a plan for the bloc.

Despite the spread of the coronavirus leading to deaths in Italy, the EU’s Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides has rejected the idea that coronavirus fears warrant restrictions on travel or trade.

She said today: "For the moment WHO has not advised imposing restrictions on either travel or trade."

Her message clearly did not reach those in Austria, as the country's government stopped a train arriving into the country yesterday evening from Italy.

Only about half of these cases have been released as recovered. The rest are still in the hospital; some of them have been there for several weeks. That is a heavy health care burden.

Business News..

Google Trends data show that Americans are losing interest in the coronavirus, even though the death toll continues to rise in mainland China and other countries.

Global stock markets dipped Monday morning as the coronavirus outbreak continued to grow outside of China, with new cases reported in Europe and the Middle East. The death count continues to rise: At least 2,600 people have died since the start of the outbreak.

But Americans appear to be losing interest, at least as measured by Google Trends data. Searches related to coronavirus have been declining in the US since the end of January?

Yes. We haven’t booked anything yet (waiting on school acceptances, they all have differing summer programs) so hence this summer is not booked yet when usually I’d have had the whole thing done by now. Also not going away for spring break as we normally do. No planes, no ski resorts, Hanging around close to home.

Latest numbers in put them at 1,146 cases, 11 dead.

So 0.95% death rate. Less than the flu. The nutter who likes to obsess with numbers can use that until we get a better sample.

Seasonal flu has a 0.1% fatality rate, so isn't this 9x more severe than seasonal flu?

Panic super spreader strikes yet again! Hey, you will keep scaring us at this rate you can give yourself panic attack andbe the first person here needing a ventilator

At .9 vs .1, COVID is 9x more fatal, moron

Well, the CDC's strategy is working then No testing, hence no new infections, no worries. We are safe.

Didn’t see this posted, but a lot of us are hoping many cases are unreported and mild, thereby lowering the death rate. Unfortunately, the evidence says otherwise. There is not evidence for widespread, mild disease. The high (2-2.5%) death rate appears to be valid.

CDC travel warning now says no nonessential travel to both China and South Korea and enhanced precautions to Italy, Japan, Iran. Apart from not admitting non citizens (with exceptions for family members, green card holders, et al) from China, and "possible" quarantine of others from Hubei Province, what are the procedures in place to prevent people from the other places from spreading it here? It is spreading so fast in South Korea, and the outbreak in Italy has already spread to several European countries and the outbreak in Iran to several Middle Eastern countries (some of which have closed their borders with Iran). Apparently no cases have been caught with the airport temperature checks. Is everything else the honor system?

The theory was debunked by another expert, within the same article. So who knows.

That doctor’s press conference is something everyone should pay attention to.
He also stated that if he had this disease, he’d want to be treated in China. Because China has put in place the massive, coordinated medical system response that no other government can.
We don’t have enough ventilators in the US if this becomes widespread.
This illness isn’t upper respiratory. It goes straight to the lungs. 20% of cases are severe.
