Just how contagious is the Carona Virus? Keep in mind that one of those gigantic cruise ships that ended up circling offshore for several days had just 21 cases, 19 of which were crew and 2 passengers tested positive. This out of more than 4,000 passengers crammed into a floating sardine can. Nearly everyone came in contact with an infected person, yet only 2 passengers actually tested positive. One of the medical professionals stated yesterday that the mist from a contagious cough would only carry about 5 feet and 6 feet at best, then dissipate. Additionally, there have been no mortalities in people over 50 years of age, worldwide.
The actual mortality rate is an unknown factor at this point, mainly because at the present time, it is only based upon reported cases. Medical specialist stated that there are likely many times more unreported cases, due to the fact that this merely mimics the common cold, for which people rarely see a physician, stay home, take aspirin and allow it to take it's course. After 10 days, the patient feels OK and goes about their regular, daily routine.
There seems to be more arm-chair specialists with absolutely no medical background or training making brash statements about this disease, especially in the press, where the motto is "If it bleeds, it leads."
Gary :cool

Don’t know where you get your news from, (I hope it’s not Fox News as probably 90% of stuff on there is fake) but the mortality worldwide is a hell of a lot (Do some real research) with most being elderly or with complex health problems. Don’t bury your head in the sand, as while there is a lot of hype and sensationalism in the news media it’s a serious problem. (Many countries are literally closed (And these are 1st world countries) with movement restricted and the US looks like it could follow a similar route due to its lethargic response at the beginning) Bill

Gary :cool So whom do we believe?!? I don't know ...  : https://abcnews.go.com/Health/learn-americans-died-coronavirus/story?id=69588942"What we know and don’t about the Americans who died from coronavirus
At least 23 of the Americans who have died were over 70."https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/m...-at-the-numbers… "and people aged over 50 experienced the highest rate of deaths"https://www.vox.com/2020/3/12/21173783/coronavirus-death-age-covid-19-elderly-seniors"In Italy, a country with one of the world’s oldest populations, a March 4 analysis by the national health institute found that of the 105 patients who died from the virus, the average age was 81. This put a 20-year gap between the average age of people who tested positive for the virus and the deceased, the institute said. On Friday, an ICU physician in Lombardy — the epicenter of Italy’s outbreak — told JAMA there have been only two deaths of people under the age of 50."Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, suicides, humans, mosquitoes, and snakes are not contagious ... Yes, the media LOVES to expound on any disaster,near or far, but I do believe CAUTION is the key right now ... AND washing your hands, including your wrists ... just sayin'
