Cases in Italy will start to drop off now due to containment in a similar fashion to China.

don't forget that they were welding shut the entrances to high-rises in the city of Wuhan, among other things

Can you do that in a democratic Europe or the USA?

How is it possible to see and hear of so much panic over a little thing like Corona, when the REAL THREATS go undressed

India has recorded 60 confirmed coronavirus cases in total and that 60 includes 16 tourists from Italy.

The coronavirus may not like hot and humid weather. We're not hearing reports of many cases in South America, are we?

It could have something to do with the warm climate. Rate of virus survival is lower in warmer climates.

yeah, very soon , both in the States and Canada numbers will hit thousands. The fact that we might hit a hundred thousand or more in 3-4 weeks depends on the current response. The more prohibitive movement of the population the better the outcome.
Brothers and sisters, wash your hands with soap and warm water frequently, try to remember (even though it might be unconscious) to not touch your face during the day. Surgical masks will not protect from the droplets but N95's will. If you are lucky to have some N95's and let's say you need to go out in a dense urban centre like New York City, try to keep some distance between yourselves and others, and wear glasses (even fake, non prescription). The reason is that the droplets with suspended viral particles after an infected person coughs or sneezes or talks can enter the body through the eyes. N95's must be worn on a clean shaven face for men, otherwise the seal is non-existent. The tiny metal strip must be pressed against the nose tightly. The straps on top and below ears must not be twisted.

Sundstrom SR200 with 510 P3 filter. Paper masks let all kinds of shit through no matter what the manufacturer claims. Take it from a guy who sands a lot of drywall.

Add all those deaths up and it amounts to 60k a day, total deaths worldwide daily is 150k.This amount leads to most countries hospital beds on average being around 70-90% full, icus usually 90% or so.

This virus has the potential to infect 50% or more of the world population within the first year, that's 3.35 billion people, of which conservatively 15% would need hospital care, that's 500 million people, roughly 1.4 million people a day.

If that happens the vast majority would not get hospital care because there simply wouldn't be beds or icus available, then you are looking at 350 million dead or more, that's roughly 1 million dying a day.1 million vs your 60k graphic.

Get it now?

Wash your hands and listen to metal.

It’ll be fine.

And if it isn’t, you’ll die. And that’s that.

Next ...

So... how long do you think is going to take before some nut head decides to do something to someone in the media?

I understand they need ratings but... this is George Orwell 1984 type of stuff.

This isn't information, it's the deliberate intent on the part of the media to 1) create an atmosphere of panic, 2) make NO CONSTRUCTIVE ATTEMPTS to inform people of the illness and 3) to engage in the usual blame and name calling bonanza they are, in this day and age, know to engage in.

Cancer, heart disease, diabetes and suicide are not contagious.
All of those things have some form of treatment and all of them have armys of people working on solving or curing them.

How is that unaddressed?
