Crap! This thing will go pandemic for sure.

I certainly hope not. This could get out of hand in short order. No wonder people were scared to death in China. I wonder just how bad it truly is over there.

I don't know whether or not it'll go pandemic "for sure", but the nominal death rate, 4%, will certainly rise dramatically if it does. The 4% rate is based on there being lots of available hospital beds and ventilators.

As it stands, 80-90% of the people who get the disease become seriously/critically ill. The reason the death rate's so low is that they can be supported by ventilators, etc., until their body rallies its defenses and overcomes the pathogen.
