Certainly does and it's a grave matter. Take solace in the fact that here in Michigan, we have not had any 'cases' yet. Illinois and California have and it looks like it's gained a foot hold there.
I'm very afraid it's coming to a locale near you (and me). Only a matter of time I'd say.
I do take solace in the fact that I've had both my penumonia vaccinations so I'm basically immune to contracting it for life and the end game for the Wuhan Flu is death from it and the complications. Basically, you drown in your own fluids as your lungs fill up and you can no longer aspirate. helluva way to go.
Right now Asian influenza far surpasses the deaths from the Wuhan flu but I believe that will change and soon.

I've never had a desire to take a 'cruise'... at least on a big ship where you are held captive and at someone else's mercy as to when you can leave the ship. If I am going to go to some exotic places, I want to stay and experience it, not for just a short while with hoards of people and get to only the touristy stuff near the port. What a waste. And not to mention the small cabins and large dining halls, and crowded gambling halls, bars, and pools of a ship. Sure not the adventure I am looking for!
Back to the virus... at least if your cattle get infected you can wipe out the herd (not ideal) but can't do that with humans.

Would apply here, In China or other countries ruled by dictatorial governments, probably not.

- More than 40 over the years. Ten at any one time. Mostly Ford and New Holland
I only have coffee at home but....
How about all the environmentalists shunning disposable coffee containers and handing their reusable to go cups to the barista who must unscrew every germ laden lid before filling.
And all the grocery stores that no longer provide disposable bags at the checkout. I see customers returning empty beverage containers for deposit in their reusable cloth bags every day then place it on the checkout belt to put their groceries in.

Good news is that the death rate of the Coronavirus has dropped to 9%. The bad news is that is 18 times worse than the death rate of influenza. Oh and SARZ is back too but is under-reported.
Here is a live coronavirus counter

Yes, probably spread by infected folks without symptoms and/or contaminated objects. New victims would be ignorant of how they caught it.

2629 / 79774 = 3% The 9% on that worldometer website excludes "active cases"

You'd think an engineered bioweapon would shoot for a bit higher than 3%, no?
