COVID-19 Coronavirus and Lung Health: What can you do?

@merpreb I just googled the number of people who died from the "regular" flu in 2019. The answer is between 15-30 thousand. I understand that in 2009-10, 60 thousand died from swine flu. Therefore, I still don't see the compelling evidence for concluding that this is a significantly more dangerous virus than prior pandemic corona type virus'?

@joelars- This virus has not reached a level where you can count total deaths yet. We also do not know how many cases there are so far because there are some countries that are not divulging information. We also don't know how many children have had it or have it because their symptoms are like colds and they aren't being tested.

Joe- If you think that SARS COVID-19 isn't that dangerous than feel free to live your life the way you want with a minimum amount of caution. But I feel responsible to say that this is a deadly virus that is being spread very quickly and the CDC is asking people to avoid crowds to help stop its spread. Ignoring this request and information could put you or other people that you are in contact in danger.
