This kind of story appears every few years, give the DOOOOOOM crowd a kick in the butt to buy a bunch of prep stuff.Wow! I'm certainly missing something here, or something they are not saying. But there has been only 18 deaths caused by this virus on a population of 1.4 billion. And the world is going Global Emergency! Why?

I missed that I remained at yesterday's numbers. Still though 25 people in 1.4 Billion it's not that many.This article claims "A new coronavirus which broke out in Wuhan, central China, late last year has killed 25 people and infected more than 800."

They've now shut down multiple major cities and there are reports that people are being turned away from hospitals. There is no way this outbreak is currently limited to 800 people..This article claims "A new coronavirus which broke out in Wuhan, central China, late last year has killed 25 people and infected more than 800."
It's funny you should say this because i have a trip from 2/8 - 2/15 with my wife and a 4 y.o. and an 11 month old and we are concerned at this point. I wouldn't want my kids to catch this bug it appears to have somewhere between a 2.5 and 5 percent fatality rate right now, and that's if you believe the numbers coming out of China.I think everyone should CANCEL their trips to Disney World also, you don't want to take the chance on getting infected!!!!! Preferably from about February oh say February 7 to 19th or so. My family will volunteer to report back if we get infected with the beer virus during that time, My wife will stick strictly with wine and I will probably have some also but add in a whiskey or margarita here and there. We will do our best to stay away from "Corona" but if we must we will add in some lime or a lemon for acidity to help. If everyone stays away during that time it would really help us as we would not be standing in lines for as long and in such close proximity to possible carriers of the virus. Thank you for your help.
That's what I was thinking! Maybe they are not saying the real number to not freak people out?! Cuz 800 people wouldn't trigger all that action me thinksThey've now shut down multiple major cities and there are reports that people are being turned away from hospitals. There is no way this outbreak is currently limited to 800 people..
For reference the city of Wuhan alone is 50 percent larger than New York City.
Because if you wait until people are dying by 10's of thousands it's a bit late.Wow! I'm certainly missing something here, or something they are not saying. But there has been only 18 deaths caused by this virus on a population of 1.4 billion. And the world is going Global Emergency! Why?
It's the social media reports of hospitals being full and people being turned away. There's just no way in a country that size with hospitals that size that this is happening with only 800 sick people.That's what I was thinking! Maybe they are not saying the real number to not freak people out?! Cuz 800 people wouldn't trigger all that action me thinks
Considering we are talking about China where the government controls the flow of information and the response they have put in place, I suspect the number of infected and dead are much higher than reported.Wow!

There are two confirmed cases in the US right now and a third that they are almost certain of awaiting lab results.It’s still early, the WHO hasn’t declared it a global emergency yet. It’s precautionary here in America as those who are suspected to have the virus have not been confirmed. Obviously, the issue is more dire in China as whole cities are being placed on lockdown. One can hope this doesn’t spread here. We lived near Dallas when the Ebola outbreak happened and that was scary.
Yep forgot to include that, those people are quarantined. I think there is another 20 something awaiting results across the country.There are two confirmed cases in the US right now and a third that they are almost certain of awaiting lab results.
