A guy in Kirkland, WA. That makes a total of 1. That's minuscule compared to auto accidents, drug OD's, knifings, or the flu. While the number of cases is slowly growing, this is hardly a pandemic. It's just a media free for all.
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.
23x that is a bald faced lie.
Actually, the death rate from corona has been about 3.3% so far for known cases. The CDC has reported between 32 and 45 million cases of the flu in the US since Oct and 18 to 46000 deaths. Using the midpoint of those estimates comes out to a death rate of .08%. That makes the rate for corona about 40x higher. Those numbers are readily verifiable on the web.
