@ueinana sorry sue in my last response I didn't identify who I was responding to. First: I addressed your question about "my numbers".
Second: I have questions for you: you say "..we know it will mutate as it progresses. and potentially increase in lethality" that is reason for alarm but what is your source for that proposition? It is not a good idea to just act on an unsubstantiated assumption, particularly when others have to pay such a severe price.? Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't the history of this family of viruses proved the opposite of your assumption? Don't we have similar lethality each year from influenza, without panic?
You state "no one has immunity" Again what is your source? Assuming the CDC isn't lying (and I can't find any statistics from other sources to cast doubts. If you can why aren't you disclosing them?) Further, we do know most (80+%) are highly resistant to the symptoms of this virus . While I don't know if that constitutes immunity if I don't get sick from a virus I'll take it as the functional equivalent of immunity.
You cite a nurse for the proposition that they(medical community) are alarmed and fearful of being overrun due to the virus. I agree with the nurse on both counts. And if you read the article from the infectious disease doctor working in the ER in the Toronto hospital the reason is panicky people come in with common colds and flus terrified they have this "deadly" virus. Who is responsible for that? If you didn't read his article and you are criticizing my response because you don't like it then what is the point of this? I promise you, give me any citations for your opinions and I will read them before I respond to you. And if the information provided is credible I will respect their opinions regardless of where it leads me. Fair enough?

@joelars, when citing numbers and information as you did in this post https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/covid-19-coronovirus/?pg=10#comment-376607, it would be appreciated if you could quote your source and if possible provide a link to that source.
What article from the infectious disease doctor in the Toronto ER are you referring to?

Please provide citations.
