But hey that's not a concern for you...
Of course it's a concern, just not a personal one. Just like malaria is a concern, ..........
I'd like to see the source for the 10 to 100 million death in one year projection.
And if I die, I doubt I'll care.

Point of comparison with the Flu: This current flu season, the CDC has estimated a minimum of 18,000 deaths so far. You see why I'm not that bothered.
Out of how many infected?
What is the percentage of people who are exposed and who became infected?
If infection rate amongst medical personnel in hospitals in Wuhan is any indication, 50% of those exposed may become infected.

Remember guys, Fear is irrational!
But it can also be rational. Mine is completely rational! I'm shit scared because of my rational fear based on projections and trajectories of the outcomes of this virus and of the damage to our global economy!
We're well and truly fucked but we don't know it yet.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

My wife works at a hospital where they service patients from an area where at least one case has been confirmed. Plan A is to if one of us gets sick, we quarantine in place. I don't often leave home, with my history of lung diseases, it's probably good that I don't.

The local televangelist has stated that coronavirus was sent by Satan on only "born again, tithe giving Christians have any real protection."
Even spouting bullshit, he has to get his profit narrative in.
Anyone wonder why these pieces of shit piss me off?

Makes you wonder how many born again, tithe taking Christians are protected from getting punched in the face for saying stupid things like that.

The death rate is 5 to 10 percent, depending on the source you read, which is high for a 'flu variant but low for something that could cause a pandemic.
Judging by the counter, the death rate seems closer to 3.43%. If it starts killing healthier, younger, people like the Spanish Flu, then this might be a cause for alarm.
The Spanish flu came in two waves and it was the second wave that was the deadliest.
Confusingly, the Spanish flu came from America.
