One nice thing about CV. People are increasing business as they buy a bunch of unnecessary stuff, preparing for the CV scam. What will happen after the scam is over, and people realize they never needed all this stuff? Business might stop, because people have no money left to buy the things they need for life. REAL panic, then.

I have seen nothing to indicate the Coronavirus is anything other then what it appears to be the beginning of a global pandemic. This is not some new never seen before thing. Such pandemics have happened before though the last one was H1N1 influenza in 1918 so it is outside of living memory.

Most young people who get it under 40 years old will recover as the mortality rate is 0.2% or one chance in 500 of death. The odds get much worse in the elderly.

The data in the graph is from a published Chinese report that analyzed some 44,000 cases. But if you don't trust the Chinese or the Italians who have reported similar numbers we also have some US data that indicate that the reported mortality rates out of China are accurate.

Ten deaths have been traced so far to Life Care Center of Kirkland. A further 15 of the the remaining 69 residents are reported to have been transferred to hospitals in the last 48 hours.

We don't know the average age of the population there but presumably its high as the facility is a nursing home. That gives us a mortality rate of approximately 10/79 = 12.6% with a further 19% hospitalization rate presumably for severe or critical illness. This looks to be on par or perhaps even worse worse then the Chinese data but these folks are probably especially vulnerable due to chronic health conditions that necessitate them living in a nursing home.

Also of note of the initial first responders who responded to 911 calls from the facility before the outbreak was diagnosed a total of 31 firefighters and 3 police officers would ultimately be quarantined or isolated. As of this writing, 18 are showing symptoms. That gives us an idea of how contagious this is and why containment will at best slow this down slightly.

Edit: Zerohedge is reporting that there was 69 residents at the facility after not before 15 were transferred to the hospital. In this case mortality so far is 10/94 = 10.6% in this elderly and vulnerable population.
