What's that stuff on the right that looks like sliced corn on the cob in a punch bowl full of murky water?

I agree but the possible cases and confirmed cases tripled in a day in the US.

In China where there’s a extremely high population density, the government probably isn’t as prepared, and many people are already living in not the most hygienic places.

Key word: “possible”. Nothing is confirmed yet nor do we have a death in the United States yet. Until we do I’m not getting all freaked out about it.

That's exactly what you described. The soup is pretty good.

You're missing the point. Point is the seasonal flu is a far, far greater risk to the average American right now.

This obviously should be monitored, and for people affected it's a very real concern, but the risk to any person in America is essentially nil.

I was at Better Buzz today and the chick making coffee said to a fellow employee that she just got back from Shanghai

Does that mean I will turn into a zombie like all the homeless romping around town?

Funny you mention coffee.

Coffee was the driving factor behind SARS jumping from bats to humans.

Well we have people believing that it has a reproductive ratio of 14 and mortality rate of 5%. That’s as easily spread as measles and way more deadly, and way more easily spread than the 1918 Flu (5 to 6 times) and anywhere from 25 to 50 percent as deadly, which would probably make it more deadly on an aggregate global level.

So using the midpoint estimates of the 1918 Spanish Flu, we’re looking at about potentially 300+ million deaths worldwide based on this thread.

The flu kills a staggering number of otherwise healthy kids each year. People think it's just a bad cold and you don't need to take precautions. That attitude is irresponsible and ends up getting tens of thousands of extra people infected that otherwise wouldn't. Yet no one is afraid of the flu.

Yet people lose their fricking minds about coronavirus when everyone and their mothers in the medical field are actively working on containing it.

This is a big fricking nothing burger as far as America is concerned.
