The mortality rate is like 10 times that of the flu. That's why people are freaking out.



So if I multiply all of the people that I have known who have died from the flu in the last 52 years, I still come out at 0.

The student, a male in his 20s, recently had traveled from Wuhan, China, where the virus was identified earlier this month. He is being isolated at home until testing is complete. Health officials have not said whether the student lives on or off campus.

The student had traveled within the last two weeks and went to an emergency room in Bryan College-Station with a cough and congestion, knowing that both were symptoms of the new coronavirus and that he was at risk because of his recent travel, said Dr. Eric Wilke of the Brazos County Health Authority. Health care workers at the emergency room then notified the county.

“All local hospitals, once this virus was made known, were already taking steps to detect this,” Wilke said. “They notified us immediately, and we were present very promptly.”

He said the student has mild symptoms of the virus and was already improving by the time he went to the emergency room. The student’s health continues to improve, and there’s “nothing that seems out of the ordinary or concerning at this point.”

Wilke declined to say which airport the student traveled through to return to the U.S., but he said he came back before increased health screenings began at several airports.

The concern isn't really a young healthy college student. It's the hundreds of people he came into contact with that traveled to the US.

Time to quarantine the A&M campus. 100 years ought to do the trick.

When I saw Coronavirus May in the subject line I thought you were talking about a recruit. I almost posted wrong board.
