It's a great time to start investing.

That's one of the most ridiculous takes I've read in quite a while. There's no way the probability of the market starting rapid recovery in the next few weeks is 50%. Just wait until it's officially declared as a pandemic, which is almost certainly going to happen.

Let's see how many people are going in those Starbucks outlets.

People have been doing this pretty much since Google existed.

What about catching the infection through the eyes?

Thanks.

Ahh, to be a teenager again.

I don't understand how this figure keeps getting quoted.

Out of cases that have been fully resolved we're now at an 8% mortality rate. 2% is counting ongoing cases, that's not the figure you should be looking at.

9% of resolved cases have ended in death. It's pretty serious.

From what I understand the masks are utterly useless against this anyway.

There have been nearly 300 new cases in South Korea in the last day. Give it time buddy.

Both of these questions are irrelevant.

The news seems to mainly be reporting the 2% death rate when in fact it's more like 9% currently, so the panic could get much worse still.

Well so far 9% of fully resolved cases have ended in death. It's nearly all old people so I'll take some comfort in that though :D

Out of coronavirus cases that have actually fully resolved (so the patient has either recovered or died) 9% of the cases have ended in death. In 22% of ongoing cases the patient is in critical condition. How in the fuck is that a "highly virulent flu with the same risk factors"? LOL
