Yeah, so far it's a hoax; it will go away with warm weather like a miracle; it's coming from Mexico so a border wall must be built; it needs to be fought with tax cuts; it will go away with prayer, what else?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas).

Ebola was a major concern because it has a stupefyingly high mortality rate. And while we have vaccines for the flu, their efficacy, it should be noted, is very hit and miss.

Yup.
I was in Sierra Leone with a MSF mission during the ebola outbreak years ago.
It was not a pleasant situation.

Ebola was a major concern because it has a stupefyingly high mortality rate. And while we have vaccines for the flu, their efficacy, it should be noted, is very hit and miss. And this is a concern for the reasons i stated before.And 40 to 60 percent is hardly hit or miss and again a least we have one

I agree that ~3% CFR may not be accurate while the outbreak is still active and this high school students estimate may be correct, in time. But then again it may not.

I'm surprised that I'm not seeing analysis numbers from an isolated static population, the Diamond Princess ship. Confirmed cases 634 (best number that I can find) vs confirmed deaths 6 (again, best number). The death number may go up but confirmed cases are set. And I can't find (haven't looked that hard) the demographics for the confirmed cases which may effect the number of deaths. [edit] My guess is that, while never being on a cruse ship my age, health status and access to medical care will be similar.
All this being said, I'm still not going to sweat it.

The concern is the ludicrously high infection rate as far as I understand it, meaning that even with the fairly modest mortality rate the projections are for 10-100 million dead this year.
But hey that's not a concern for you...
