WASHINGTON — Scientists can’t tell yet how deadly the new virus that’s spreading around the globe really is — and deepening the mystery, the fatality rate differs even within China. There’s nothing different about the virus from one place to another. Instead, the never-before-seen strain of coronavirus struck Wuhan fast — before anyone knew what the illness was — and overwhelmed health facilities. As is usual at the beginning of an outbreak, the first patients were severely ill before they sought care, Aylward said.
Still, Aylward expressed frustration at people saying: “‘Oh, the mortality rate’s not so bad because there’s way more mild cases.’ Sorry, the same number of people that were dying, still die.”Until the past week, most people diagnosed outside of China had become infected while traveling there. Aylward cautioned that authorities should be careful of “artificially high” death rates early on: Some of those countries likely are seeing the sickest patients at first and missing milder cases, just like Wuhan did.A cousin of this new virus caused the far deadlier severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak in 2003, and about 10% of SARS patients died.
Yep, more people are learning what a fool Trump is. He sabotaged the CDRC.
It's too early to tell and we have 10,000 infected and 500 deaths ! And it's been found in 90% of countries!! Great !!

We didn't expect something else. Maybe a few more NobelPrize for knowing nothing. Are they actualy sure if Coronavirus is a natural virus? Or it was created from somebody to begin 'the end of the world'. The one who answer this question should really get a Nobel P. WHO
All the media continue to utilize false math with deaths / total cases ... mortality rate is deaths / that have ‘recovered’.
It’s swine flu level, which isn’t that serious. The people dying are mostly old & sickly & being cared for by 3rd world countries with bad healthcare systems.
JenniferJJacobs If i get this thing, I am headed directly to a Donald Trump rally.
What about the 16,000 flu season deaths already in us for 19 - 20.
Let's all trust the numbers from the Chinese government.
Covid_19 ère digitale je suis le principe laïque&souverain par inadvertance j’ouvre l’ère digitale une nouvelle humanisation de l’esprit par fécondation de celui qui flotte l’homme digital n’est que très peu sensible au virus il s’adapte progressivement à toutes les pollutions
'News' like AP is nothing but fear mongerers these days, scaring people for ratings. They ate doing more damage to the world than the 'coronavirus'
so...it might be like Y2K？
~3% of people infected die. That's tiny. Everyone is blowing it way out of proportion.
It's going to kill you. Do you need it to be any deadlier than that. Wait first! Can it even be deadlier than that!? 🤷♂️
it is not deadly if so far only 2% of the infected have died!
