>>11341123>Like the fluVery much so but must be clarified it's not an influenza virus, it's an novel coronavirus with currently an exponential rate of infection due to how effective (infectivity rate anticipated at 1:3 where flu is about 1:1.3). Current (likely inflated) 2.8% fatality (Pneumonia), 50% dyspnea and 98% fever and the high fever sounds rough.
It's like a really shit flu. Especially the high dyspnea rate which is probably the thing driving so many to the hospitals.
