I agree, but also leery of the “less lethal than flu” point. Because old flu is also less lethal than new flu, and this virus has to treated like it’s a new flu and the devastating potential that has. That doesn’t change the issue of China being unhelpfully secretive of course.

Yes, I should’ve just stuck to pointing out the number of Americans who’ve died from the flu this season. Been hit with tons of people throwing stats at me. Although even those have been debated by public health experts.

#CoronaVirus current mortality rate is about 2.5-3%, but flu is only 0.14%. Last year about 45 million of flu infections with 61,000 deaths. If same number of infections on#CoronaVirus, we will have 1.1 million deaths.#nCoV2019 is much lethal than the average flu. -
Already True. Also around ~25% of
#CoronaVirus patients require intensive care. Intensive care for millions, or even 100,000s is logistically 'difficult'. When those patients don't get that care, the mortality rate will be significantly above 3% - Još 3 druga odgovora

That came out of Mexico city, also those numbers are complete nonsense, global infection rate was a minimum of 11%, they probably used number of hospitalizations.http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2011/08/study-puts-global-2009-h1n1-infection-rate-11-21 …

There are the videos coming out of Hubei with the many dead bodies. Is there enough data shared which suggests this virus is less lethal than the flu? Melissa, I'm a fan for many yrs. U might reconsider the wisdom of making statements like this.

I don’t know why people keep repeating that. At the lower end of the scale it’s 2% mortality, flu is 0.13%. In 1 month, it’s already surpass 6 months of SARS. Complications rate is 20%. It’s not nothing and completely irresponsible to keep playing it down.

The lethality and contagiousness cannot be determined accurately without better data and China has not provided it.
