There is a lot of BS and fear mongering when it comes to this virus. Yes,It can be harmful to the elderly and people with health problems, but so is the common flu, which kills thousands every year.
The people in the West who have had it, or have it are fine, with some of them clearing the virus with ease after a few weeks.
Normal healthy people, as has shown, should clear it with ease.
This virus is not just dangerous to infants or the elderly. The doctor in China that died was middle aged and healthy prior to getting the virus. The people in the west are receiving better health care from a system that is not presently overloaded and under-staffed/equipped. The honest truth is you have no idea the age or general health of the victims of this virus in China. Apart from accusing people of fear-mongering (which may not be accurate) I don't see what you gain from trying to maintaining this position.
Firstly, post evidence that children are being effected by this virus? We know that the virus does not seem to be effecting children like it does adults. Type that in google and you will see the articles thst talk about that.
As for deaths. Of course it will kill elderly and have a chance of killing people with other problems, just like the normal flu!
What happens when non elderly people and people who do not have health problems get the flu? They clear it, just like they are clearing this virus
As for the doctor in China. Do you know he did not have health issues? We know that he was not sleeping and working around the clock. What happens when you do that? Your immune system is effected through stress and lack of sleep, so there is a good chance the virus would effect you worse.

I am disputing 50 K to 100K dead.
Good thing that wasn't presented as fact. However I do like where you say " if it were that lethal then we would have more foriegn deaths." This statement by you is very interesting. Could you please provide more details as to why this is true?
Simple math, if that many people were in fact dying from kungflu there would be more than 2 deaths by now outside of China.

As asinine as your statement is, I'll be cordial with my response. EXPLAIN YOUR LOGIC....
Even if there is (100,000,000 people) dying in China why would there be more than two people dying outside of China? ( hint there have been like 15-20 dead outside of China so far)

Urging people to "be a little prepared" is mass hysteria?
Citing someone claiming crematoriums are running 24/7 is exactly mass hysteria.
