14530 cases and 305 deaths also 340 recovered

Wait what? How? What did they do to make you think that?

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.

Death ratio still stays around 2%. The curve is not exponential if it can makes you feel better. It is already 15-20% lower than the prediction of the OMS.

This thread... Didn't know so many on VGC are so susceptible for conspiracy theories or just scared of something which will be a much lower risk for their life than just driving around with their car.

No need to panic. the people that die are the very old and people who had other preexisting conditions, outside of china theres only been 1 death in the philipines and even in china most provinces have 0 deaths. If you are healthy and you get it you are likely to recover

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.

Again, how?

I have a feeling you severely overestimate the operational impact the WHO has. They have about as much influence on the world's health as the UN has on the world's politics.

I appreciate those who responded to me. I also apologize, I let my anxiety get the best of me and I disclosed too much personal information. I used to just worry about myself, but now its family too...

19,000+ confirmed cases, and 414 deaths.

Experts suspect there could be over 300,000 infected by now.
Its sad that you can just watch the numbers grow day by day.
