My niece has a friend who works at the CDC. The fatalities, especially China, have more to do with pre-existing conditions. The Chinese have very poor air quality and that leads to respiratory issues that occurred prior to the virus. The virus attacks the lungs. Most people who contract the virus have it for several days before it manifests. Common sense such as frequent hand washing, avoiding crowds and people staying home if they are sick. Those unfortunate souls who have passed away had other issues before the virus struck. Their immune system was already compromised. I hope everyone does not panic. The news media loves drama!!!
