the death rate remains low, but infections have already surpassed the entire SARS epidemic. it was posted either last bread or in this bread that Indian scientists claim it is not a natural virus, but probably engineered. which is no surprise. china let it out by accident imo. its designed to make a lot of people very sick and very contagious in an effort to inflict maximum damage to the resources of the target. i believe we will see alot moar cases but mortality rate will remain at about ~2%. to equate this virus with the common cold at this point with all of the data available is reckless and uninformed.
