Call me Debbie Doubter but in China and South Korea new cases are on their way down .
According to worldmeters.
China’s peak one day high was 14,002 cases now they’re reporting zero . They’re reporting only 6500 active cases now.
South Korea’s peak was 851 new cases in a single day. Today they reported 93 cases .
It might just be me but that’s not how super spreader viruses act. No amount of disinfected and quarantine is going to have such an immediate effect . Especially when you’re dealing with something with RO high RO.

Thanks, I haven't checked those websites. I'm trying to find enough information to prove to my family that this is deadlier than the flu virus.
So you want your preconceived notions supported. You dont want truth or facts. Because thats out there.
Hint....its not. For example in the US COViD has a current mortality rate if 1.4%. Flu is 7.1% currently. So in the US the flu is 6 times more deadly.
probably wayy too early to judge mortality rate of this virus in the US..

Why? There is a sample size of 10k infected to pull from. 4 days ago that 1.4% was 1.7%, meanwhile the number of infected doubled (from 4.5 k to 10k).
I've said it since the first reports: Coronavirus will hit China hard, but not the west. Because we have decent air quality.
How about Africa...how's their air quality, you know...having hardly enough air pollution to speak of? How about their COVID infection/mortality rates?
I'd also suggest that among populations that use more tobacco we will see higher mortality for similar reasons.

But Politicians are forcing shutting down much of the country, due to the MSM hype over a relatively few (300) Covid-19 deaths.
GO FIGURE...
How contagious is the Wuhan Coronavirus? (Ro)
The attack rate or transmissibility (how rapidly the disease spreads) of a virus is indicated by its reproductive number (Ro, pronounced R-nought or r-zero), which represents the average number of people to which a single infected person will transmit the virus.
WHO's estimated (on Jan. 23) Ro to be between 1.4 and 2.5. [13]
Other studies have estimated a Ro between 3.6 and 4.0, and between 2.24 to 3.58. [23].
Preliminary studies had estimated Ro to be between 1.5 and 3.5. [5][6][7]
An outbreak with a reproductive number of below 1 will gradually disappear.
For comparison, the Ro for the common flu is 1.3 and for SARS it was 2.0.
