Something that MAY set your mind at ease in regards to the Coronavirus

[Sal Collaziano]

In regards to the mortality rate - there's something many of us are not considering. Most people who are infected with the current Coronavirus don't show symptoms bad enough to even CALL their doctor - none the less visit a hospital. There are also people who show no symptoms at all. When all is said and done, these unreported cases would have lowered the mortality rate quite a bit. Just a little silver lining for anyone who's been stressed out about the current situation. We'll get through it...

Yea. But we really don't play that game. I could say that the ebola outbreak in africa infected 10,000,000 people and since 99% of them did not show any symptoms, we should not worry about Ebola.

I can not prove how many people got sick and recovered. We can prove how many where tested positive and how many of those died.

The good news is that on the total scale of things, this little bug is a very weak and small problem. I was reading that a lot professionals want to rate it below the common cold.

Not sure I'm seeing the good news in that belief. Our economy is pretty well destroyed right now and this status quo is going to carry till at least the end of April. This rescue plan carried out by the politicians has at this point in time still not reached a single citizen of this nation. And when you do finally receive it how far is $1200 going to carry you?
Fact is, I'm essential. Haven't missed a day's work. Hoping like crazy that I don't catch a case of whatever this is. If this does in fact come to a close by the end of April it will still take many multiples of $1200 to return me to my normal.
