    That’s 100,000 cases in about 3 months. So if the corona virus spreads like the regular flu and is not contained and there were 34 million cases in the USA (like the flu this year) with a mortality rate of 3% that would be over 900,000 deaths in a year. The public health system would be overwhelmed. Italy currently has over 10,000 cases in just 2 months, check out the news videos of ICU units in tents there because of not enough public health infrastructure.
    Hopefully it will be contained and the spread slows down or stops while a vaccine is developed.

    The NBA shut down for the rest of the season as one player tested hot for the virus. 200 dead in Italy in the last 24 hours. Trump bans flights to Europe for the next 30 days. A Cobb County, Georgie daycare worker tested hot for it. The first case showed in Hattiesburg, Mississippi today.

    Kind of makes you look not to far back and think of H1N1, SARS, Bird flu, Swine flu etc. etc.

    And one alarming thing is that those who are young enough and healthy enough to be infected but not suffer any symptoms or not get sick can unknowingly pass it on to others who are much older and are much more vulnerable to infections and their consequences.
