I can see where one party would use the virus to gain advantage over another through media hype. That's true for issues of all sorts. I don't think the virus itself is a danger to most people. I do think there's a bigger picture that is being over-looked by many, and others simply shrug it off as not going to affect them. That bigger issue is the economy and the virus's effect on it. We really haven't even begun to feel the effects of what has occurred in other countries yet. And, it's still ongoing in those other countries, so we're not even able to calculate what it will be at this point. Between the panic and the preparations, the world's economies have experienced a shift, a down-turn. A lot of everyday Americans are going to experience this in their own lives. Jobs, businesses, goods, all are going to be effected, some more than others. World economies have slowed, goods and services have slowed, and in a consumer nation, we will feel at least some of that. How much it will effect us is yet to be determined. Currently, it means cheaper gas and the prospect for more. In some areas, toilet paper, bottle water, hand sanitizer, mask, and gloves, may be hard to find or rationed at the store. Little stuff. Some, like gas, welcomed. Others, an inconvenience at this point. If other, more important, things become unavailable or too expensive, then things could get interesting. The situation is worth paying attention to regardless.

Scuba, yer killing me with that meme!!! Awesome link Marty, thanks. The mortality rate for this corona virus is only 0.7% even with cases being under reported by 2-50 times the actual number. So it's actually half to 1/50th as deadly as the normal flu. The mortality rate for this corona virus really spikes in the 70+ age range. Again, this makes its mortality rate seem a lot higher overall than it actually is for the general population. Remember: 30% of all flu cases each year are from one of the viruses in the corona family. The common flu ranges from 0.5-1.0% mortality. Right now covid-19 is smack in the middle of that. SARS has a mortality rate of 10%. It's still out there. Odds are in years to come covid-19 will be just another form of the common flu we all get.

I also believe that wide spread testing will lower the mortality rate percentage. One aspect of this virus is the fact that it is new, no historical immunity to lessen the effect and that viruses tend to mutate. The Spanish Flue had two waves in 1917-1918. The first was relatively benign, the 2nd wave was a mutated virus that killed by some estimates as many as 50 million. Granted, there were political aspects due to WWI and troop movement around the world obviously contributed to the spread. Medical care was no where near the standards we have today. I ignore all of the FOX/CNN/MSNBC crap and go directly to the CDC, HHS and WHO. These people are worried and they have no political dog in the fight. The fact that they are worried in turn causes me to worry. I thinkpeople should not jump to any conclusions either way and just stay informed. The best news out there is that this is not particularly dangerous to our most cherished citizens....the children. The Spanish Flu on the other hand was particularly dangerous to young people.

I hate seeing old and sick people die. Butt. I wish this stuff would just hurry up and run its course and get it over with. There is nobody and nothing anybody can do that is going to stop it.

More government putting out the wrong message to save the stock market and coming election. Who really knows what is happening in China and other countries. The News hypes up everything but according to science and computer models this is a different critter and good cause for more concern. It isn't even just regular news outlets talking about it, I've been noticing sports talk radio is focused on this

CBC news good morning just had a story on about the Spanish Flu back in WW l and all on the deaths and how the Government lied back then, gee not a loaded story or what. The next story was about the Dixie Chicks and you can guess how that went just this time they talked in code mostly.
