"Among the first 17 victims were 13 men and four women. All were identified only by their last names. The youngest was a 48-year-old woman, Yin, who died on Monday, more than a month after her symptoms were first recorded. The oldest cases were two 89-year-old men who died on Saturday and Sunday. The median age was 75.
Many had underlying conditions like cirrhosis of the liver, hypertension, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. Most spent more than a week in hospitals, with some undergoing treatment for a month or longer. But two died just four days after they were admitted.
While much about the virus remains unknown, medical experts found some positive signs in the fact that the disease did not appear to be killing young and otherwise healthy people."

Best to be prepared and not need to be then unprepared and need to be, no?

Around here (Belgium), no one is worried, the media tells us not to be worried so no one seems to even care.
I for one spend the day prepping... bought masks, disinfectant soap, bleach, meds to battle pain and fever. Lot's of raw honey and herbs that help clear the lungs. Filled the freezer and stocked up on food that won't go bad for at least two years. I'm ready to quarantine myself and my family for over a month if it comes to that... I'm counting myself lucky that I live far away from a big city.
I think smart prepping isn't overreacting... everything I stocked up on will be used and consumed eventually.

A little perspective:
"The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that flu kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people around the world every year."
Here is some information on from an article on the coronavirus:
"Among the first 17 victims were 13 men and four women. All were identified only by their last names. The youngest was a 48-year-old woman, Yin, who died on Monday, more than a month after her symptoms were first recorded. The oldest cases were two 89-year-old men who died on Saturday and Sunday.

It sounds like the people who died from the coronavirus were already sick with something.

It's OK to start throwing around statistics and numbers, bbbuuuuttt when one of those numbers is you. Well you figure it out.

There are molecular biology forums where we are tracking this. The dead count is well over 10k atm. This thread will not age well.
