CrazyGamer was canned because he was too skeptical about the virus?

I still believe this virus is hitting Asians, in particular Chinese much harder than any other race of people. 90% of the infected have fever and 5% die which is way beyond what we see outside of China / ethnic Chinese people.

Results: 9 studies were included in Meta-analysis, including a total of 50404 patients with 2019-nCoV infection... the incidence of fever is 90.9% , the incidence of cough is 70.8%, and the incidence of muscle soreness or fatigue is 41%. The incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was 14.8%, the incidence of abnormal chest CT was 95.6%, the proportion of severe cases in all infected cases was 21.3%, and the mortality rate of patients with 2019-nCoV infection was 4.8%.

Seems like Italians and the Aryans in Iran aren't faring as well as East Asians.

Iran - 16/95
Italy - 11/323

S.Korea - 12/1146
China - 27/780 (00s)
Japan - 1/161
Singapore - 0/91
