I think that's fake news but higher percent than what we are being told.
Unfortunately the virus is out of China and now in other Country's and by the look of it, it infects quite easily, so let's hope its kept contained as of now.
Fake news most likely.
However a colleague of my son’s, Chinese, has said information coming out of hospitals in the Hubei province suggest the situation is significantly worse than being reported. Most disturbing thing is thebleeding from nose and mouth. Reported to be shown in a good number of those infected. Still, it’s third hand info at best. So best with a pinch.

this has to be more serious than we think i just checked the SP500 futures and they are nose diving hard...
as Steve Mnunchin says, the stock market is always right

This doesnt sound like a viral hemorrhagic fever to me... more likely is busted capillaries from coughing and symptoms of the respiratory complications.
Published Jan. 24 in The Lancet journal, these are the first clinical studies conducted on patients struck by the new coronavirus, dubbed 2019-nCoV.

That has to be the hope. A viral hemorrhagic fever with human to human transmission would be - well, very bad.

Source: First clinical studies find Wuhan virus closely resembles SARS.
It now has a real name: 2019-nCoV
Whew! I thought we'd be stuck with "Wu-flu"!!
The above article comes from the tracking they put in place after the SARS scare of 2003 (was SARS really over 15 years ago?!). Anyway, that is part of the explanation on how they figured out which virus is causing it. It is a "compare and contrast" study (two of them), between nCoV and SARS.
The symptoms (and lack there of) of nCoV is rather disturbing. You catch it but it needs a 5 - 10 day incubation period. This thing can invade healthy cells. Since it is airborne now, you can walk around spreading it the whole time. If you get sick, you have no signs of lung issues, no runny nose, maybe a cough but nothing to say "man, you look really sick." Then it is full on pneumonia. If you don't get sick, you keep spreading it (all sourced from the linked article except the 5-10 days which I read on another post).
That just nasty. And asJane pointed out, could be a cross with Spanish Swine Flu because both do not need a weakened immune system to infect people.
BTW, they (US CDC) has the full genome from two different patients (same source).
Sweet dreams!
