>but it seems to be less communicable than SARS or H1N1 right now, too I was in this region both during SARS and now. It's very clear from your comments that you weren't really paying attention during SARS and you're misinformed now. More people have already been infected by this coronavirus than the entire cumulative SARS infections to date. There have been more deaths too, despite its relatively "low" virulence. > And I'm going to be frank: the very young and very old could just as easily die of influenza No. This is completely false. Please stop. A seasonal flu kills 2 per 100k infected and this virus kills ~2,000 per 100k infected. SARS was much more lethal but this is not a garden variety influenza and telling people it is is actively harmful.
