Sounds like it. It is probably miserable as hell but unlikely to kill you

It's only dangerous if you have a weekended immune system from being old or marijuana use.

The usual strains of coronavirus that you normally see in children this time of year....not at all
This new one coming from China...problem is that it's a new virus...hard to fully know just how bad it is when the medical experts are still learning more and more about it.

All the info you need is in the 128-page thread on the front page in ALL CAPS.

Remember the Sars outbreak in 2003, it's a lot like that. Back then 8098 people got sick and 774 died.

I don't want to say they shouldn't make a big deal out of this, because it no doubt helps people be more conscientious about hygiene which keeps the spread minimal. But it still is WAAAAAY overblown as a threat to most people.

So if you get this thing on a Saturday or Sunday, you’re screwed?

Probably pretty bad for children and the elderly. We're still learning about it.

Sars was much worse (from what we know right now)

only to those who get it...

You should fly to China and tell us before it is too late... Good chance Psyclocibin mushrooms will give you a morale boost and some Purple Haze will help you sleep better.

From what I read: no more dangerous than the flu. The issue is with the flu you know generally within 24 hours that you have it. This illness has an incubation period of up to 14 days where you can spread it without even knowing you have it. That means putting your children and elderly parents at risk without any knowledge of it.

I, too, initially thought it wasn't that dangerous but then was diagnosed with it and let me tell you, it is really, really deadl
