Just stay home

The mortality rate of coronavirus is about 20x higher than the flu at around 2% and .1% respectively. Additionally, coronavirus spreads much faster than the flu

Economy could crash probably sometime in early march. Hold onto your tax refunds boys

Good luck man

Facemasks r the wave tbh

I got puts on $SPY tomorrow so I need this energy rn

Am I the only one who feels like it’s being blown out of proportion? Like even in China it’s only infected 0.006% of the population. That’s only 6 out of every 100,000 people. Sure, it’s not great, but ppl need to chill

continue to not care

I think there's a good chance that you or someone you know will get infected with the s*** by the end of the year, but the mortality rate is going to crater as we learn more about it and westernized countries get included in the count. Right now the CFR is around 1% internationally and 3% at the epicenter, skewing the average up to the 2.5% we're seeing thrown around. There are many factors involved in that number.

Everyone should be concerned about coronavirus and stock up on masks, food, vital prescriptions, etc. However, I don't think the average KTT member, young as the population is, will likely die from coronavirus. It's very possible that their country's economy will be affected, but they probably won't die or even get especially ill. Honestly, in most young people with good immune systems, it will pass through them like a regular flu.

Realistically, the best thing you can do is be aware of what's going on and prepare yourself without reading updates constantly. It will drive you crazy, as with any epidemic that sweeps through the world.

Want some good news? Today saw the smallest increase of new cases since January and there are reassuring signs that China is slowly getting back to business. A lab in Australia also believes it stumbled onto a vaccine. So hang tight and hope for the best.

Holy s*** it’s up to 2600 deaths now?

Last I checked it had barely passed SARS now it’s over 3x the death count

I honestly don't think there's a good chance that someone I know or I will get infected (although a lot of my friends and I work in hospitals so we might be slightly more at risk). I've been following new cases, and it's been slowing down for the past week or two. There's only been 35 cases in the US, and with the way things are being handled, I don't see that going up too much. I obviously could be wrong, but I have some confidence that I won't be.

I don't like to watch the news with things like this cause I find that they tend to blow things out of proportion and sensationalize things for some clicks, so I just follow the facts. Like back during the ebola outbreak the news had everyone thinking that if you step outside you'll contract it.

So I guess we'll see, but I still feel like it's ultimately being made a bigger deal than it is

I hope you're right, man. Right there with you. Keep it medium until you know for sure that it's actively being spread communally in your area and then make logical preparations. Two things you shouldn't do:

1. Pretend it isn't happening and do nothing.

2. Let it scare you, because tbh you're way less likely to fight off whatever in that kind of state. You can actually worry yourself sick. So live your life and enjoy things while they're normal. If things stay status quo, awesome.

just wash your hands

realize that i'm not 70 years old so my chances of dying are extremely slim

If it comes to Nevada I’m going back to Nigeria

personally i dont know if i can believe any of the stats about it

If I was in China I would put a stop to this

please go to china then !

Don’t care, not real, plus the government created it.

Yeah I've been following this website a lot: worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases

It shows a lot of information about new cases and whatnot. And the most promising takeaways I see are that the number of daily new cases has been continuously declining, the number of active cases started declining about a week ago, and the outcomes of cases (recovery vs death) has been continuously edging more towards the recovery side

well the people that are dying from it are people that were already ill. so, what you can do is wash your hands properly try not to touch your face and maybe wear a mask
