Would really like to know age and medical history of those who are dying...Isn't that a very key part of the puzzle?
Nationality also.

My other dog had night blindness for 2 years, when it would get dark he would go completely blind.
I gave him carrot soup for 1 week and his night blindness was gone within a week.

That dog just likes carrot soup and played you for a fool.

You don't find it ironic that 34,000 americans died from the flu last year, coronavirus has only a 2% chance of being fatal, yet this is what the hysteria is about? We have 350,000,000 people in the united states, as of Thursday 62 people were confirmed with coronavirus, of which 45 were americans brought back from China to quarantine, leaving 16 who contracted it by being in direct contact with someone who recently traveled to china. The one left over was a mystery as to how she contracted it, let alone how many she could have infected. Today there are more cases found. In a nutshell we have most likely under 100 cases thus far, most of which were already treated, and we have a huge population.

Washington state I believe

Bad timing just after Trump said it was a hoax
If taken in the actual context of what he was saying (which media will not since they are the contributors to the hysteria) not really, but the media will have a field day with it. Whatever, gives them some fresh material.

Sounds to me like your dog quit jerking off for a week.

Probably about 1% in more modern medical systems currently and even less as protocols get kicked in.

I think we should take it seriously from a public health standpoint. If I could stop a new flu, I would. If I could delay it long enough to develop vaccines and use the health system in a serial manner (instead of overloading parallel) I would.
That's where we are at. The economic cost of prevention is high but you only get one chance to contain.
Third party experts all seem to think this is here to stay and to just plan for it to be endemic like flu. However, many global policy experts are still in containment mode and feel this could be stopped before that happens.
I'm a clinician, not a public health expert. But I do think this is one of the paradoxical things that is relatively low risk like flu at the individual level but major red alert if you're at the policy making level.

2% is 20x more deadly than the flu.
It's more contagious, and it's incubation period is over twice as long.
It's an engineered weapon, not bat soup.
And, it's on top of the flu, which has more commericals for its vaccines than there are cologne commericals.

Nowhere have I said do nothing about it. Thus far I think the president's reaction and handling of the virus has been great. My post was on the hysteria. It is being blown way out of proportion.

I think your numbers are off.
