Not saying this to induce panic but to spread the news about what this thing is.

It doesn't do anyone's survival hopes any good not to know what they are dealing with.

Or to elevate the general economy over one's family, as Trump is doing without any credibility.

The good news is that the risks remain low for people under 40 (99.8% recovery rate). And 40-50 is no more than 4 times as risky as flu. So for those people, it's not too alarming. If only Trump would say that.

For me, the stats say I have a 1/12th chance of dying if I get it. So it is a little bit concerning. I am glad the UK government seems to be taking it seriously and is letting the medics run the show.

If I disappear, you know what happened!

It seems more like a weapon than a disease.

Normally people who have symptoms are contagious. Not this one. People pass the virus before they know they have it.

People seem to be able to contract it twice, so there may be two strains.

No one seems sure how it is transmitted. So doctors are dying.

It may be crossing species barriers.

And it kills at a rate of up to 4%. It's not clear why some countries have it worse: Italy has a very well regarded health service, and it is getting the worst spread in Europe.
