The current administration just requested 2.5 billion in funds to fight the virus and our ability to combat it is vastly superior to China’s. So no, it will not be even close to as bad.

Okay, I have to beat this into your panicking functioning brain. WE ARE ALL NOT GOING TO DIE! You’re failing to understand that humanity has survived the worst!

Trouble breathing is where it is harder than usual to breathe. If you have bluish skin, seek medical aid. Also, if you have a fever and shortness of breath, seek medical aid aswell. Outside of that, I cant say anything, because im not a doctor. If you feel that you need medical aid, then seek medical aid.

STOP KOSA!
The main thing to remember about this virus is that while easily spread it’s not very fatal.
 
The highest reported death rate occurs with individuals who submit themselves to hospitals at around 15% I believe.
 
(According to WorldMeters.)
 
Other than that WHO states that it’s around 2% in terms of being fatal altogether.
 
And yes, the statement of being more likely to die from the flu still rings true but that’s no reason to be careless.

2% sounds fine until you dig into the numbers.
 
The 2 to 3 week incubation period means that once it gets endemic to an area, it’ll spread fast. And while 2% of a few hundred doesn’t seem bad, 2% of 100,000 is, and so on. It’s the nega-ebola, low over all virulence, high spread.
 
 
Also, the actual chance to die from the seasonal flu in a developed country is closer to .2% to .5%. If Covid keeps that 2% fatality rate in industrial nations, it’ll eclipse flu deaths. Not sure if it will do so, but it has the potential.

The first person to person transmission of the Virus was just confirmed in the USA. CDC cannot identify where the individual got it from as he never traveled or had any history of interacting with an infected person meaning it has officially began spreading in the US.

Iran is suspected of having 20,000+ cases. China is reporting that things are being brought under control which is almost certainly a lie based on the data.

Has the world pretty much said “fuck it” or is it just me?
 
Seriously, almost everyone who discusses the coronavirus says we’re all gonna die or sink into total chaos of which we’ll never truly recover from.
 
Did humanity just lose its ability to be rational?

As someone who’s been rather prone to respiratory infections the past year, this is really starting to make me nervous.
 
I’m thinking that, if you haven’t already, now might be a good time to start stocking up on simple staples like canned beans and bottled water, cause you never know what kind of disruption or shortages there might be in the future. I’m definitely making a trip to Wal Mart after work tomorrow.
