Meanwhile, in the US......

An estimated 19 million Americans have been infected with the flu so far this season, and 180,000 of them have been hospitalized because of the illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The flu virus has already killed an estimated 10,000 people across the U.S., including 68 children, according to the CDC. In fact, the 2019-2020 flu season is shaping up to be one of the worst in years.

Yep, this week has been filled with multiple dr's appointments across the medical spectrum and when I ask what preparations they're making for the coming pandemic I have universally been greeted by blank stares and questions of "What pandemic?"

Regular flu is contagious only when you have fever. 2019nConV is contagious even when uou do not have symptoms. One passenger on a cruize ship infected 20 that we know of. How many more did those 20 infect?

10,000/19,000,000=0.0005263158 or 0.05% death rate. NConv has estimated 16% death rate.

Not sure it is the same boat, but on one quarantined boat, they tested everyone on board, not just those showing symptoms. HALF of those that came back positive were showing NO symptoms. That is what makes this virus particularly dangerous, and is likely the reason the Chicoms are locking down areas and nailing doors and windows shut on their citizens. They know everyone is a potential carrier in a hot zone, afterall, they designed this virus.
