What's this?

The

is that yeah the death rate seems to be just 2.5% but those numbers are GREATLY underestimated by the fact that the Chinese are not being honest and the sample size is small still. The other thing I keep seeing is 30 year old otherwise healthy men/women are dying. The flu doesn't do that except on rare occasions. Young/old ok but middle aged and healthy is scary. That tells me this is only gonna get worse. Give this bug another 2 or 3 years to cycle into the mainstream and mutate and it could be really really bad. I get that the CDC doesn't want to create panic but I am watching this very closely and planning accordingly in terms of how my family and I might ride this out if it really blows up.
