Yeah, how can we expect to end mankind if people start recovering from this flu thing, right?

In any case I can confirm what I said earlier, this Corona virus is blown out of proportions. Comparing it to the last one that hit China in 2002, this one is not as lethal. 10% of those infected 18 years ago died whereas a little above 2% of those infected this time around, die. I don't know why that is? Are humans more resistant or is this strain weaker? Who can say. The point is that out of 100 infected people, only 2 actually die so maybe people should not panic the way they seem to do.

Ah you think 2% is not enough ? Shit always happens to the others, until the day it happens to ourselves or a relative.

Hence the advantage of not having relatives (or at least none I care about or see IRL) As for me since I don't see people and avoid as much contact as possible, 80% of my city should be contaminated before I can start wondering whether I am contaminated or not and so far 1 person out of 11 million are contaminated over here, just 1, recently in the news they said 2 other people coming from China could have the virus but after testing them it turns out they have not.

And finally what part of "expect to end mankind" makes you think I would care even if I ended up contaminated?
