  1. I feel sorry for the Chinese people in cities with this infection it must be scary with so many people in close contact and especially with the jumbled information coming through.

    Best information at present seems to be this coronavirus has a R0 probably around or just below 2 which means slightly more transmissible than seasonal flu but slightly less than SARS.
    Best estimates of mortality currently are 2-3% , well less than SARS (around 10%)but factors higher than seasonal flu (.13%}.
    That’s enough to be concerned about but not panicked.
    It’s not pretty reading some comments online re where this virus originated, fear brings out some of the worst in certain people.
    We should offer medical teams to China help and to learn.

  2. I should add I see woke attacks on genuine concerns and their nasty tribalism in general, as displays of narcissism no different to the selfish racism they think they are decrying.
