Cool Coronavirus

John Hopkins has an excellent interactive map that shows in real time the progression of covid-19; globally, it notes how many deaths, how many have recovered - in all countries.

Being old, I am slightly concerned; and even if I catch this kind of flu and recover, I am sure it would take its toll on my body, so I put this out as general info, and it's for you to decide whether or not to take precautions:
  • WHO estimates that deaths from the coronavirus are 3.4%.
  • Compared with the flu that goes around yearly, the CDC says that the fatality rate for the seasonal flu is 0.14%.

So, you can see that this strain of the flu is a tad more dangerous. Of course, if you do catch something, it might just be the common cold.
