The problem is in the transmission and the vulnerability. Flu normally kills the old, young and immune compromised. This like SARS kills anyone, which also increases the risk of spreading. The most concerning thing is that the Chinese equivalent of the CDC said that it can spread before symptoms show, meaning a 'healthy' person can be admitted to another city or country and still be spreading the bug. Yes the media is great at making a mountain out of a molehill, but if this thing is as reported and gets free of controls, we could be looking at another 1918 flu.

You are correct. At least with flu or cold anyone can see when the person is most contagious because they physically have symptoms. Someone acts and looks unwell move away fast. With this the person looks fine and might be contaminating everything they touch.

At this point because of the wonderful Socialist China State and the parroting lying media there is not any real solid info. There is a lot of speculation from the videos that escape Chicom censorship, plus the overreaction of the Chicoms themselves.

Simple things to prepare: Have a facemask, keep hands washed, do not touch face. Stock up on food for a month. Get vitamin C supplements, immune boosters (Airborne) and Elderberry syrup. Elderberry Syrup is one of the few natural things that can help with viruses like flu. http://www.ethnoherbalist.com/benefits-of-elderberry-black-elderberry-syrup-for-colds/
