Still we're all not gonna die as some people are making it out to be like every so called outbreak. Swine flu? Zika virus? Swine flu killed over 200,000.For the record, while we still don't know much about it the fatality rate of the Corona Virus is thought to be around 2%. The fatality rate for the common flu is closer to 0.1%.
2% isn't going to cause the black plague or the apocalypse, but it is much worse then the flu. The only reason more people have died from the flu is because it's currently more common.
I don't think having a little caution is unwarranted, either until it starts to die down or until a vaccine is developed. It's can be good to remind people not to panic, but it's insensitive to act like the corona virus isn't a problem at all. The goal of containing these diseases is so that they do die down.
Still here.
Plus coronavirus only has the same symptoms as the common flu does and majority that's died are over 50 and elderly.
I do however apologize if I came across insensitive. Just tired of all this exaggerated fearmongering.
