I mean I hope you're right, but data collected from other countries suggests more response is needed than what was done for swine flu, otherwise you end up like Italy which is approach 1,000 deaths just this week and the entire nation under quarantine.
I amazed at the faith people put in gov't. Can't balance a budget or deliver a letter, but can save us from a virus? Yeah, OK.

I agree with this but fail to see why the people who make that statement are the same ones predicting worldwide death and destruction. Why can’t we all take a “let’s be cautious, use best health practices and see where this goes” attitude?
I think most rational people realize this isnt the black death that will wipe out 1/3 of the population.
My chief concerns are:
1)Availability of care vs number of patients. If that proportion gets less than 1, you have real trouble.
2)Social cost. If you have a quarantine and people start taking things into their own hands you also have a real problem.
It's not hard to see how either of those is a possibility here.
The other frustrating part of this is that no one knows who has what because the CDC totally fubared this. That is compounding the problem, leading to higher probabilities of items 1 and 2 above.

The power the media has over the general uneducated population is scary. Coronavirus is a joke.

Corona is just getting started. Why do people keep comparing the final numbers on a virus to the beginning numbers of a different virus?

I think because everyone is now on "high alert" you are now going to see hospitals/medical facilities even MORE inundated with people terrified that any small unusual symptom is the corona virus whereas before they generally just brushed it off.
And what is the social cost of bringing society to a grinding halt for what, relative to the world population, doesn't appear to be a cataclysmic virus? Pandoras box is now open. There WILL be another mass disease breakout of some sort (Zika, Sars, Swine Flu, etc). Only NOW, the immediate reaction will be to totally shut down society. Does that cost outweigh the benefit?

H1N1
I see the blogs and Facebook feeds of those positive with CV19 and they all have mild or no symptoms. It is reassuring to me that as long as we take care of our elderly and immuno-comprised individuals this will come out way less severe than H1N1.

How would you explain the extremely higher mortality rate with COVID-19 with people saying the symptoms are much less severe?
Posted on 3/12/20 at 1:11 pm to minvielle
If I remember correctly, H1N1 was not as a global issue as this. It didn’t spread around the world like this in 2 months. Feels like it was mostly Mexico and US...but maybe my memory is flawed

It would not take much to quickly overwhelm local health systems. How many ICU beds do you think are in the state of LA and what percentage are currently already in use?
The big fear is that this thing spreads rapidly in the span of a couple weeks and suddenly the manageable "joke" virus becomes unmanagable for a lot of people.

Some people get sick..others dont. Its all down to your current health and biology. And to those saying definitively that this will be better or worse than H1N1 please provide were you are getting this info becasue most experts are stating they dont know but are concerned it could be worse. Also this is not effecting only the elderly and immuno compromised. Why this bullshite continues be perpetrated is weird. They are the most in danger but there are plenty of folks in their 20,30,40s that are sick. Some severely and some dying.

If it gets 100 times worse, that would equal 3700 deaths in the US.
What will regular flu kill here this year?

The point is, the media was not nearly as up in arms as they are about a virus now that is still in its infancy.
It's absolutely a political ploy by the MSM to tank the economy with the election coming up.
Problem is, anyone with half a brain isn't going to blame the tanking economy on Trump because of a virus started in China. Or maybe I'm giving the American people too much credit.

H1N1 spread was more aggressive.

I think once it is said and done we will see a CFR of .1% or less.

Also, some light reading:
This Japanese paper, based on 565 Japanese evacuees from Wuhan, pegs asymptomatic at 41.6%.
