What's not receiving the attention it deserves is the fatality rage by age. For those over 80, its roughly 15% while for those under 50 years of age, its 0.2%, which is roughly the same as the flu (source: China CDC, 70,000 sample and NEJM). What the media should be reporting is that this is a particularly nasty virus, which attacks the elderly and those with respiratory issues or diabetes. Unless you fall into those categories, you're are more than fine. (The grocery stores are overrun with millennials!) However, the public has zero interest in being told to quit smoking, eat a diet low in fats and processed foods, and spend more time with the grandparents. For those who hate Trump, hate China, want to boost ratings and argue for more government spending, this is a godsend. In the words of the former mayor of Chicago, "Never let a good crisis go to waste!" The real terror here is how easy the public is being manipulated, even those who claim to be immune from fake news.
