I'm not worried of myself dying from it, though I am concerned since I do have high blood pressure.

I am mostly worried about being a carrier of the virus and infecting a few seriously ill people in my life. I am now avoiding going to Pens games that I have tickets to if the NHL season continues.

Hopefully we can keep this from absolutely crippling the nation, but fuck who knows now.

We livin' in wild times now.

How high may I ask? What's your baseline and are you taking meds

That was days ago. Today, on national TV and in front of Congress the SG said unequivocally that COVID19 is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu.

From the CDC website. Skip to 1 minute. He says it twice.

I have now updated my tag for you by adding "HUGE".

I am taking meds, and I'm not doing a good enough job at keeping a baseline while at home.

Hopefully that's not a MAJOR issue. @_@

No, I will most likely be fine (like many others).

I am more worried about the societal collapse associated with it. Instead of isolating carriers, we should be placing extreme care on those who are vulnerable instead.

It can cause pneumonia and respiratory problems so if you already have breathing issues it's probably gonna exacerbate that something awful.

Just had a confirmed case in my town (Daytona Beach, Florida). The infected was a man from New York here visiting and taking part in the annual Bike Week festivites.

Daytona Beach Bike Week brings in a massive crowd for a 10 day event. Estimated crowd this year was 500,000. The event is still going on (until Sunday) and draws people from all over the United States as well as other parts of the world.

Needless to say there is absolutely no way that guy didnt infect others. Were about to be one of the American epicenters for this virus.

Dude read the thread or take it up with the Surgeon General.

The WHOs estimated mortality rate for COVID-19 started off at 2%, Fauci said. If you count all the estimated cases of people who may have it but havent been diagnosed yet, the mortality rate is probably closer to 1%, he said, which means its 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu.

and

Seasonal flu has a fatality rate of less than 1%. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on Capitol Hill, estimates that the fatality rate of flu is closer to 0.1%

10x more "lethal" than 0.1% ??
Stop making it sound like its 10x more deadly than something with an actual high mortality rate ffs
So now we just to MAYBE 1% at worst?!

You're wrong. Just read post 54 and watch the video. The SG explains it all. It is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu.

The second line of the link you posted even says it.

From USA Today. About 60,000 affected in this spot. Around 50,000 recovered and about 3,000 deaths with 14,000 cases still active. If you get Coronavirus, you have a 83-percent chance of recovering.

I work in a grocery. Seeing shelves wiped out is a little unsettling to say the least. Not to mention the fact that I'm in close contact with the public.

I'm still not scared of the virus and getting sick but the measures being taken to keep it in check are very worrying. Not saying they aren't needed, but I work in the music / event business which is taking heavy losses at the moment here in Europe.

That actually makes sense though. They know at least one player has it and they play a game where they are in constant close contact
