You should check out the chest X-rays of victims. In critical cases it’s a viral pneumonia that can cause permanent scarring or death when it explodes your lungs with puss-filled lesions. In Italy the death rate is around 6%, but they got overwhelmed. That’s what we’re trying to avoid.
Do you get why China went overboard? Because we don’t have a cure for it. You get ventilated and they hope you keep enough lung capacity to survive.
Sometimes I wish they’d give it to people straight, but can you imagine the panic if people knew they might catch that?
It's not a good thing to get, but isn't worth being a fear merchant over. Older, and sick people want to limit their exposure, but stopping our economy for this bug is overkill.
Perhaps this is one of the costs of living in an environment where you can't see the sun because of severe pollution and sponsoring slave living quarters for factories.
The frosted glass comments about lung CAT scans from Italy and Iran really freaked me out. The thing that's baffling me is where are the reports of this from the US and Canada? I want to know if the lack of spread, ICU admissions and fatalities in North America is because we have a less severe strain circulating or if it's related to the number of ACE2 receptors in the lungs.

We don't have 100,000 plus Chinese straight out of Wuhan in the US like Italy did: https://i.imgur.com/lH1nE7d.jpg
Critical cases are surely bad, but most people will be okay. It's less deadly than Flu: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/breaking-exclusive-the-coronavirus-fatality-rate-reported-by-the-media-is-completely-inaccurate-the-actual-rate-is-less-than-the-flu-media-lying-again/

I'm curious why Canada isn't getting hit harder by now having just shut down travel from China today.
