what is it, 400 cases confirmed? And 15deaths? So it’s 3.75% deadly
probably not - there will be a lot of people who dont exhibit enough symptoms to present themselves to medical facilities and be included in the totals - equally there might be people who have a natural immunity to it - so it might be much less deadly
Of course the converse part of that argument is that there might be many more people carrying the virus round and potentially spreading it
I guess we just don't know enough to be certain at this point but for sure such an outbreak around Chinese new year is a bad combination... I mean if you were writing a movie script for some apocalyptic, dystopian horror then worlds biggest mass migration and a unknown, untreatable communicable disease wouldn't be a bad start
