I've been making concrete plans to go for the past few weeks, I think the rise of the Coronavirus is the sign that it's time to pull the (metaphorical) trigger, I can't imagine anything worse than living in a draconian state as a pandemic consumes everything, the world will struggle and those I love will suffer and life will suck I'm not going to be around to see it.

Coronavirus isn't as deadly as Ebola. Over 90 percent of people recover, and some who get sick have no symptoms at all except flu-like. So we are basically having a pandemic of the flu.

It's not really the effect of the virus that is making me full of doom, it's more of the fear of the government instituting martial law, grocery store shelves being empty, the global economy collapsing, me being separated from my elderly relatives who live on another continent and not being able to make sure they're okay.

It's extremely deadly. The WHO is lying about how bad it is to decrease widespread panic. Their death statistics are probably calculated somehow to be a reduced number to tell the public about. My 3rd cousin is in the army and has lots of friends in Taiwan and China, and the Chinese's government's death statistics are in the 20,000s and rising rapidly. They just refuse to talk about it in the media.

China isn't the rest of the world, or the center, or the population, or the potential lack of control, or containment, or health, or..........

OR you can look at places in the US and other places, where it's not as deadly. Death sells. End of world would cause TV execs to have their brains explode from the ratings explosion. It's just not bad. More have died from the flu in my area than have from the coronavirus--and we've had it here from what they said.

That's because COVID-19 is a new virus, while the flu is not. We have it in my region as well. It's may not look bad now, but I guess time will tell

My doctor called me today about it. It's dangerous to me because I have respiratory issues. A healthy person would get the flu. Some have few symptoms, others more. Just like the flu.

My point was it wasn't (well until a possible mutaion) spreading, or killing all ages, all health conditions, etc--it's basically limited.

It's not that bad. Mutations can be a different thing, but may not have happened. Nor rapid spread in every area and killing all people regardless of health or breathing. So still, limited.

Diseases are a part of our world. E.g. Spanish flu killed around 30 million of people from 1918 to 1920. According to CDC, 16k people died from flu during the 2019-2020 season. Around 770,000 died from AIDS-related illnesses in 2018 in the world. More than a million died of tuberculosis. So is actually coronavirus the thing we have to worry about?

Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year



And this doesn't include deaths from the common cold which is also a virus.
And i think the Flu and also the common cold mutate constantly which is why there might never be a cure for the common cold.

CDC is U.S. based so these are statistics for U.S. Just wanted to show death tolls in developed country, anywhere else numbers can be much worse

There have been a couple cases admitted to the hospital near me. I know someone that works there . From what I hear none died. Sucks hearing it's near me since I have serious breathing problems. I want to die but not like that.

My general approach to these things is any hysteria whipped up by the media tends to be 10-100x worse than what's actually happening. That's just the nature of incentives and what sells stories. I'd guess the chances of anyone here dying from coronavirus are about the same as getting struck by lightning.

Yeah I guess. I'm no biologist, so I don't know the full way it works. I just want to watch humanity perish

I think it's a sign nature wants rid of us and who can blame it? We are the virus

I think a lot of people will be killing themselves once our economy collapses..
