Dude. You have to calm down like with your other thread. You have nothing for sure or as you said the flu. It's not even in Australia at all.
Nothing at all.
As far as we know there's only one confirmed case. I'm sure it will be absolutely fine.
They usually are. Most of these scary viruses only end up infecting a few tens of thousands of people.
Its the ones you don't hear about that you need to worry over
Panic and histeria can sometimes else advance things further or stop things spreading more
Well congratulation to you, but you know your immune system is stronger than us mere mortals who aren't surrounded by virus/sick people every week
I'm just a former ER nurse who could no longer tolerate people coming into the ER for hysteria.
That really seems excessive to me given the number of cases outside of China.
Where does this news come from that it's already in Japan? I only ever read China...
Edit: Nevermind, I found it. One case so far.

oh wow one case of corona virus in Japan. If only we started reporting how many we get in California.
Cheap airfare tickets for me I guess.

Sometimes these things spread fast and by time you realize it's too late.
While the impact of fluvaries, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year
. CDC estimates that
influenza
has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000
deaths annually since 2010.
You are just as likely to die on a plane as you are this virus. Until its obviously worse or something more.

Prolly because coronavirus is trending on twitter and ebola is not
I wonder if Coronavirus, being a newer, more unknown entity is adding to the interest. If that makes sense.
Ebola only seem to affect those poor blacks in the country of Africa as well.
It's SARS 2.0.
It's probably from civet cats again which were being sold illegally in the groundzero Wuhan food market.
why worry about the olympics later when it's Chinese New Year now? The amount of people moving around china (and the world) for Chinese New Year is insane.
No idea tbh.
Maybe they're just paranoid lmao.
They were saying that a lot of Chinese will be going to Thailand since it's Chinese New Year.
So they wanna avoid that, kinda they're fault they think this through.
Yeah, we're talking hundreds of millions of people transit right here.
They still need to up their game with the prevention over there though, a lot of people in China actually don't care to protect themselves/the others, or minimize the impact of the virus at the moment.

6 dead now, over 300 infected, likely more.

Then we should be concerned for the elderly, and immune-compromised. This can't just be shrugged off because you're "fit and healthy." People need to practice better hygiene so they don't get others sick, because you don't know how it can affect them.
Ebola effects are horrific but its kinda shitty at being a virus. You really need to get airborne (and not show symptoms, kill people so quickly) if you want people to panic
Staff from the hospitals where patients were treated got sick
