To elaborate, in case anyone is confused by the comic:
Coronavirus: World in 'uncharted territory'
The World Health Organization says the virus is "unique" but stresses it can still be contained.www.bbc.com
WHO: Containing coronavirus is still ‘feasible’–if countries are ‘aggressive’
More than 3,000 people have died from the outbreak that began in China in late December, including six people in the U.S.thehill.com
The dude isn't saying that they've never seen a respiratory pathogen that's capable of community transmission before. That's completely insane. There are plenty.
He said that it's a community transmissable pathogen that ALSO can be contained. For example, if it were another strain of flu, another community transmissable pathogen, it would be all over the place by now. The ability for COVID19 to be contained while also being relatively contagious is what makes it unique, but these articles put "unique" in scare quotes and don't provide the proper context, or make it hard to discern.

Who gives a shit. What we’re arguing about here is whether or not this is ‘normal flu’. It isn’t. Being in denial about that is fucking moronic.

Um, I give a shit about reality, accuracy of facts, and not misrepresenting the words of WHO officials to mean nearly the opposite of what he was saying.

Forget about mortality rate, this is why you should be worried about coronavirus
"In The Atlantic, Marc Lipsitch, a leading epidemiologist at Harvard reported that “that within the coming year, some 40 to 70 percent of people [3.12 to 5.46 billion] around the world will be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19”. This was last week and while ridiculed at the time, his assumptions are now the generally accepted position among epidemiologists." (2/29/20)
Atlantic article: You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus
"Lipsitch predicts that within the coming year, some 40 to 70 percent of people around the world will be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. But, he clarifies emphatically, this does not mean that all will have severe illnesses. “It’s likely that many will have mild disease, or may be asymptomatic,” he said. As with influenza, which is often life-threatening to people with chronic health conditions and of older age, most cases pass without medical care. (Overall, about 14 percent of people with influenza have no symptoms.)" (2/24/20)

Yes.. the problem with COVID-19 is the stress it puts on the healthcare infrastructure.. which then causes other deaths due to not being able to treat people timely.
This, so-far, has caused a larget % to need hospitalization (young and old) than the flu normally does.

It's akin to drinking bottled sea water because its hipster to do so. Stupidity comes in all forms. Democracy is why so much stupidity is allowed to reach government.
Oh and also we're all going to die. Run for the hills, panic, etc.

Allegedly it should double every seven days, but so many cases are likely undiagnosed its hard to tell. I'll say 350.

Dr. Mario has failed on mobile. What Nintendo should do is drop an early Animal Crossing demo due to COVID19 and allow saves to move to the main game on the 20th
