Here we are dealing with a panic over a new virus as if it's goign to wipe out the world population while, in fact, there is a much heavier death toll from other viral diseases which are also very easily caught by simply breathing.
"Influenza associated mortality burden in the elderly was higher, with the lowest excess mortality rates of all causes, respiratory and circulatory diseases, pneumonia and influenza being 49.57, 30.80 and 0.69 per 100 000 people, and the highest rates being 228.16, 170.20 and 30.35 per 100 000 people, respectively. In the non-elderly, the corresponding lowest rates were -0.27, -0.08 and 0.04 per 100 000 people respectively, and the highest rates were 3.63, 2.6 and 0.91 per 100 000 people, respectively. The influenza-related excess mortality was higher in the north, with a minimum of 7.8 per 100 000 and a maximum of 18.0 per 100 000, and slightly lower in the south, with a minimum of 6.11 per 100 000 and a maximum of 18.7 per 100 000. There were also differences in deaths caused by different influenza virus subtypes, with influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B virus possibly posing a heavier mortality burden." This is per year, by the way.
If you want to do the math, there are about 13,600 "100,000's" in China. I assume they have the same vaccines that we do. For perspective, there have been, thus far, 3,287 Covid19 deaths in China and it's leveling off.
OK, if I see a fire ant on my foot, heck yeah, I react, but I don't shut down!

Although I can't actually read your comment and make sense of it, I will tell you that it obviously is fractionally small compared to current levels of viral disease. It might grow but that has little to do with all these draconian measures we are taking. This is like seeing the temp jump from 100.1 outside to 100.15 outside and us panicking, racing out to the A/C warehouse and spending all we have for a new A/C unit but not having enough left to pay for installation!

You, like the Italians who blew this off will be talking a different story three or four weeks from now, your examples of denial and the price paid will be Louisiana, Florida, and Tennessee, states with governors who still don't get it who will be killing people when other states contain it way better.

Couldn't handle the math could you. Rhetorical.
People die every single year by the thousands upon thousands of diseases which we even have vaccines for, like the flu, which is easily caught from coughs, sneezes and contact and yet, up until now, no panic?
This panic is brought to you exclusively by the media and internet hype. If people start killing each other it will have nothing to do with deaths due to a virus but exclusively due to the over hyped idiocy of the media. Y'all just looked the other way in 2009 when H1N1 got going. Now it kills thousands each and every year; some 400,000 in China alone last year based upon the study I posted. Why?

I should have said reported deaths.
