        Nothing like those two at all. The RO and mortality rate are entirely different, and a lot worse

        Waaay too late for that. Our efforts may slow this thing down, but really we're at the mercy of the gods now. Hopefully it doesn't do a Spanish Flu, die down for 6 months then come back as a 2nd wave and kill millions.

        Whilst this is true it's only the first step in seeing what can kill it. As it is a new virus or a new strain it's gonna take a while

        The media rarely reports on symptoms, severity, recovery rates. All we hear is contagion is higher than for flu, and symptoms are not worse than for flu. 40K infected in China, 1,000 deaths - why didn't they recover, compared to majority. Our fear is high because we know little.

        Over the last 3 months, how many have caught the flu I wonder, and how many have died from it, even though millions were vaccinated.
