Now this does make me feel better. Some good points Ill share from the WHO report:
***Let me state again, this is a report from the World Health Organization and lends far more credibility than the lady in SK scared to death she is living in End Times, or the doctor on TV saying this is the scariest disease he has ever seen in his life***
If you have direct personal contact with an infected person, the probability of infection is between 1% and 5%.
Since the end of January, the number of new coronavirus diagnoses in China has been steadily declining (shown here as a graph) with now only 329 new diagnoses within the last day - one month ago it was around 3,000 a day. "This decline in COVID-19 cases across China is real,"
Your likelihood to die: Some people who are in an age group read the fatality rate and think this is their personal likelihood that they will if they get infected. No, because all the other risk factors also apply. Men in this that age group will more likely die than women, people with preexisting conditions more than healthy people, and people in overcrowded hospitals more than those in hospitals where they get the care they need.
"COVID-19 is spreading with astonishing speed; COVID-19 outbreaks in any setting have very serious consequences; and there is now strong evidence that non-pharmaceutical interventions can reduce and even interrupt transmission.
Age: The younger you are, the less likely you are to be infected and the less likely you are to fall seriously ill if you do get infected:
The most common symptoms are fever (88%) and dry cough (68%). Exhaustion (38%), expectoration of mucus when coughing (33%), shortness of breath (18%), sore throat (14%), headaches (14%), muscle aches (14%), chills (11%) are also common. Less frequent are nausea and vomiting (5%), stuffy nose (5%) and diarrhoea (4%). Running nose is not a symptom of Covid.
Transmission by fine aerosols in the air over long distances is not one of the main causes of spread. // This means getting it by breathing the same air as someone who sneezed or coughed is quite low.
