Hopefully the Wuhan coronavirus culls a good amount of them.

unfortunately it also seems to kill kids and the unhealthy

in the former case it'll only cost us the Good Demographics in 15 years, in the latter case, well, rip goons

On Friday, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the CDC's Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said the incubation period for the novel coronavirus, called 2019-nCoV, is an estimated 14 days from the time of exposure to getting sick.

what's the flu's mortality rate? I tried looking it up earlier, but the best I found were a few counts of the number killed in given years, which doesn't include the number infected

For the common flu?

0.1%

official reports of Coronavirus are right around 3% mortality

basically your best bet for escaping Coronavirus

  • 1. don't touch your eyes or mouth
  • 2. always sanitize your hands when you get home
  • 3. don't go out from your home until this dies down

masks are effective for viral infections

https://www.healthline.com/health/cold-flu/mask

quote:

First, a 2008 study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases concluded that when used correctly, masks are highly effective in preventing the spread of viral infections. Family members of children with flu-like illnesses who used the masks properly were 80 percent less likely to be diagnosed with the illness. Surprisingly, the difference between types of masks used was insignificant.

Another study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reported similar results. Researchers looked at 400 people who had the flu. They found that family members reduced their risk of getting the flu by 70 percent when they washed their hands often and wore surgical masks.

viruses are still carried by aerosols that cant get through your mask. they also reduce how much you directly touch your face.

that's cholera

it killed a bunch of people before we figured that out and went "hey let's not drink water that someone with cholera has poo poo in"

it still occasionally kills a bunch of people in places or disaster situations where the "purify the poo poo water" tech breaks down or was never present

way back in the earliest flash game versions of plague inc i remember the winning strategy was basically: airborne, long incubation period. you'd get a ton of points from spreading minor symptoms relatively quickly, then you'd mutate something insanely lethal like making them vomit blood as soon as you had a foot hold on every continent (and madagascar)

poo poo's probably not even the deadly strain we'll see in the next 20 years with how mega industrial meat farming, deregulations, and antiviral/antibiotic usage is going and a losing battle because NUMBER must go up and bacon must be cheap
