We all know how it spreads and how common it is. The r0 for flu is about 1.28. For coronavirus it's 2.2 approximately. So roughly speaking in layman's words, this is twice as infective as influenza. So the fact that it's here, I don't see why it can't spread, similar to how flu spreads. Every year 30 mil people get the flu in the US. About half of those receive medical attention in some way, and about 1-2%get hospitalized, and about 0.1% die. Think of the flu but more infective, slightly worse illnesses, and for the high risk population much more serious <cite>DanHaren2019 posted [p:934929301] in AMA about ...
