It depends. If the lethality rate is 23 times that of flu (and it's likely to be much higher in poor countries) and if it is every bit as contagious as flu (or more so) then, it could be a big deal. They say populations over 60 are most at risk, which means guys like a lot of us here.


Best we can tell, same populations at risk for the regular flu are at risk for Corona.

Keep in mind, at 23x number is likely inflated. People with mild cases are much less likely to head to the hospital and get tested.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
