That is fucking scary... It is going to end up being close to 50% mortality rate.

I have never been this scared in my life. The world as we know it is going to change drastically... 

All these thoughts keep going through my head....


Now I'm scared my daughter won't get to grow up... Or that if she does she won't have any family left to look after her....

I've had this sense of impending doom for the last week... Non stop. I'm surprised I haven't had a heart attack yet.

Recovered doesn't mean what you think it does. It's very likely a subset of the critical condition cases and far from everyone who is quarantineed or confirmed to be infected, since that's how chinese papers on Lancet are treating the data.

For instance, was SARS at 100% mortality rate before mid April and 66% after that?

We're likely at the point where we can estimate mortality rates fairly well since the sample wtih this many cases is fairly reliable as it was the case for Ebola:

Also, seek a therapist man. You seem far, far more at risk of being a victim of anxiety or something, for real.
