Dash.. the common flu numbers blow this away for what's being reported. What am I missing? Why is this such a scare? The vaccine will be found eventually

I think it’s that we can track the spread if it so well, and it’s been exponential
Like the ONE dude who brought it onto that cruise ship. Within two weeks, 700 infected and multiple dead.

and it’s been very interesting to watch it spread from one specific area around the world

So, Pete Bootygig decides to drop out.

Pete Buttigieg to drop out of White House race

He had some decent ideas, but faced two major issues.

1) A lot of people were never gonna vote for a gay guy
2) A little too much of a corporate shill

Just hope he shuts up and supports the rest of the candidates.

First US death of Coronavirus confirmed in King County, Washington - I was just there two weeks ago.

the man who died was at Evergreen Health Center in Kirkland. We went to the nordstrom rack, trader joes and chik fil a down the street from that hospital 2 weeks ago. My sister in law lives 6 kms away from it. The school my niece goes to in redmond sent out their first coronavirus related email friday afternoon. (My kids school in Burnaby sent their first email to parents january 24.)

The latest worldwide numbers show around 2.5 % mortality with covid. Thats 20 times more deadly than regular influenza.

@mattola , what jstew posted above, the mortality rate is concerning.
I think it’s rate of spread is kinda nuts too - you get one guy on a ship with 2000 who came in contact with it and then 10%+ of the ship is ill.

Hopefully the warmer weather coming up works to kill it but, again, we could’ve just isolated China fucking immediately and likely avoided what’s now happening and we didn’t despite the fact this is exactly what happened last time - China wasn’t forthright with what was happening, it spread like crazy and people died needlessly instead of inconveniencing their economy which ended up happening anyway.
