I certainly don't know the medical community as a MD would and I agree China could get hit hard but just look
at the link I provided.
24k people infected in a country of 1.3 billion.
67.8% of the infected in the province where it all started, 96% of cases in China. I'm not trying to say the virus shouldn't be taken with a degree of seriousness, but as of right now this shouldn't cause the majority of us any worry.
I would be really interested to know of those that have died, how many were seniors and had some preexisting conditions.
I guess ultimately my thoughts are that context is important. This could look incredibly scary at a high level but digging deeper and providing context shows that this, while serious, isn't something to get all up in arms over.

It is largely NBD. A decent amount of folks have gotten sick, but the mortality rate isn't crazy and 99.8% of deaths
