Please enlighten us as to what the mortality rate is for this illness, because that information I have not seen. It is certainly more deadly than the flu (1:1,000 die). It sure seems to be spreading at an alarming rate (over 9,000 confirmed cases as of today and that’s if you believe Chinas numbers). If you look at the daily numbers, it has been doubling almost every two days. No reason to panic, but certainly no reason to ignore it or not take it seriously.
