Only 800 people died from Sars and it was way more severe, plus since we're 16 years of medical advancement later... i'd be very surprised if the deathtoll ends up triple digits

Also, unless your immune system is heavily compromised, I imagine it's flu like symptoms.

Quote
Just three of the 41 deaths reported over all have taken place outside of Wuhan: one in another city in Hubei Province, one in Hebei Province, and one in Heilongjiang, near the Russian border.

Quote
The New victims ranged from 55 to 87 years old

Quote
A young, previously healthy man died in Wuhan, raising concerns about the deadliness of the virus. Until now, the vast majority of victims have been older than 60 with preexisting conditions.

Every news outlet is screaming DEADLY VIRUS, CHINA CANT CONTAIN IT. DEADLY. ITS VERY DEADLY. And the majority of victims are.... elderly people.

A highly contagious virus isn't a good thing, but news outlets are having fun scaring the fuck out of people.

I mean, yes. But it still is a serious thing. Ebola is serious in the sense that symptoms are very severe. Good medical protections is why this stuff doesn't jump as much as it used to. But that doesn't mean not panicking about it possibly breaking out of containment shouldn't be done. (Maybe NOT to the Chicken Little levels that the media makes it out to be)

Is supply even able to cope with bulk orders in the millions (or billions ? I imagine the cheaper, lighter masks may not be reusable or have short viability) ? In a manner timely enough to make a difference ? Without disrupting the existing needs, supply lines and unhealthy competitions between countries due to the fear of shortages ?

It is really difficult to tell what is real and what isn't at this point.

The talk about gunshots is bullshit, it was Chinese New Years so if you hear 'gunshots' in the distance it is just firecrackers going off.  :doge

It all does look very eerie though

So I was gonna make a post last night about how for a friend's birthday we went to a traditional Filipino restaurant last night and had a kamayan dish where they line up the food on the table and we all eat from it with our hands and I was sitting next to a coughing gal who just came back from Seattle airport a few days ago which made me a little  :doge but figured it was fear mongering so didn't post.

Then this morning wake up to find out the 3rd confirmed case is right down the street from me in the next city over (~5 miles away)
https://www.ocregister.com/2020/01/25/case-of-coronavirus-confirmed-in-orange-county/

As someone that is on immune suppresent medication (and just got my lastest dose 3 days ago which supresses my system for the next 2 months!), catches every flu/cold that passes through and gets hit harder by it and takes 2-4x as long to recover from it...I unfortunately have to be concerned :(
