36K sticks in my mind as an average for each flu season--deaths related to. And that's WITH access to flu shots and the 'DNA' of virus known. We have an UNIDENTIFED flu, unknown cause of transmission HITTING ADULTS, even young healthy ones, and it's on most continents now.

If you are blowing it off, you are an idiot!! 1 piece of good news--to date, it's still EARLY, kids don't seem to be susceptible.

Trump is talking about it like it will be gone in a week.

Live updates: Spread of coronavirus in U.S. appears inevitable, health officials warn

Health officials in the United States warned Tuesday that the spread of the novel coronavirus in the country appears inevitable, marking a significant change in tone as global travel disruptions continued to worsen, South Korea neared 1,000 cases and Iran reported at least 15 deaths.

China and South Korea announced new cases of the coronavirus, raising concerns in both nations about how long it could take for normal life to return. South Korea confirmed 144 more cases, bringing its total to 977, the most outside China. President Moon Jae-in visited the city of Daegu, where more than half of the country’s confirmed cases have been found, Tuesday afternoon local time.

Travel disruptions continued to spread, with the United Arab Emirates, one of the world’s most critical aviation hubs, saying it would suspend all travel to and from Iran, where authorities confirmed that the death toll has reached at least 15. In Iran, an opposition lawmaker and the deputy health minister tested positive for the virus as the death toll there climbed.



Early Tuesday, global markets appeared to stabilize after Monday’s heavy losses — until the Dow Jones fell 600 points, wiping out a 150-point gain.

Here are the latest developments:

● The Chinese government said Tuesday that there had been 508 new confirmed cases by the end of the previous day, along with 74 deaths, bringing the total number of accumulated infections nationwide to 77,658, with 2,663 deaths.

●“Ultimately, we expect we will see community spread in the United States,” Nancy Messonnier, a top official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters. “It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses.”

Are you buying some?

They aren't that effective. But go ahead.

BTW, did you know that the reason there is a shortage is that most every company moved production to China? Once the outbreak hit there, they ran out. But, hey when Trump talked about moving the supply chain back to the US for national security reasons people like you cried about it.

So kindly go fuck yourself

Yeah, the panic is unproductive.

The mortality rate numbers vary from around 1% to 5% with the low number being more accurate because the high number comes out of China, where people aren’t being tested positive till the get really sick—typically with pneumonia. More people are dying in China because a lot more people catch it in China. A healthy person who gets it would very likely just develop flu like symptoms.

It’s no reason to shut down the subways or whatever. Maybe people who are susceptible to pneumonia, have COPD or etc should wear masks in public or stay away from public places till it passes. Everyone else just practice flu precautions. Wash your hands etc.
