I am often uninformed but I am ready to change my skepticism at any time that the facts justify doing so . I think that most of the fear/panic is based on this becoming a pandemic . Based on the current info available the number of cases worldwide are a small fraction of the # of cases from the usual winter flu bug.
CURRENT INFORMATION
82,447 confirmed cases- 2,808 deaths [ 3.4%]- obviously these numbers are changing by the minute. Without proof my feeling is that most of the deaths are of unhealthy people and/or the elderly. For the healthy generally the illness is probably no worse than a mild form of the flu.
Every year in North America thousands of people die from both the flu and pneumonia at a far higher % rate than from the coronavirus based on the info currently available.

I will not be insulted if you call me an idiot !!
