This post has true information, but it is also misleading.
First off, it is reported that for those over 60 with a health condition, the mortality rate is 49%.
And most important, suppose the virus goes away with warm weather like the cold virus. I can assure you, it will be back in the fall. This virus will be among the population perhaps permanently, coming back to reinfect every year. It will survive in the southern hemisphere when our summer approaches.
We will need to adjust for the next couple years until a vaccine is developed, and even then, people will get the virus and die. Once the panic is over, we will get back to some semblance of normal living. But the virus is here to stay. And I think it is a harbinger of the future. This is the first of a number of diseases that will begin to slim the ranks of people on earth.
When the population was around 3.75 billion, around 1972 or so, I had a bio professor tell me the planet is over populated, and that mother nature will unleash something to bring the population under control. When HIV/AIDS came along, I thought that was what would do it. It didn't. But now I see one new outbreak after another, and each will take its turn to reduce the population. I say the future in the middle of this century is bleak.
