24 victims out of 44 have died so far. The virus is apparently resistant against very good drugs.

Seriously, where the forget do these keep popping up from? Makes me feel like this is just a virus done on purpose to eliminate people due to huge population.

didn't bother reading thread but

yeah wow huge death toll, really "eliminating people" to help keep the "huge population" in check. 24 deaths holy forget it's like the bubonic plague

Some good news i guess is that it only spreads in close contact. It's not airborne but we don't know how it is spread other than being in the same room.

All the clusters of cases seen so far have been transmitted between family members or in a health care setting, the WHO said in an update Friday. "Human-to-human transmission occurred in at least some of these clusters, however, the exact mode of transmission is unknown."
That means it's not yet known how humans contract the virus. But, experts say, there has been no evidence of cases beyond the clusters into communities.
Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, previously has said the infection is "very serious" but appears "very difficult to acquire."
"The recent increase in cases may in part be related to increased awareness among the medical community, however the demonstrated ability of this virus to transmit between humans and to cause large outbreaks has increased concerns about the possibility of sustained transmission," according to the WHO.

Yeah, I mean, how is China going to cope with 24~ people dead due to this virus? Their entire workforce is crippled at this point.

Hell, more people probably die each day from old age than people have died from this virus, no need to get so worried

[MrLoL²]

uh oh stuff

[IkeTheGeneric]

The lesson here is that it's not a threat and nobody should worry like every single time there's some kind of new virus.

You want to know what's also "SARS-like"? Influenza. The flu kills more people year round than H7N9 ever will.

Yes, it is unfortunate that people died, but those who did were either weak or old. That's the people that are usually easily-susceptible when it comes to flu-like viruses.

[Mardalf]

without a doubt the governments are making these viruses to push us towards marshal law
Greenland should be safe for about 248 days

[Muslim]

[Alyx Vance]

Gov'ment officials be tryin to kill us. Mhm

I don't like the government but I don't think they are purposely causing virus' to kill everyone. Who else would fill their wallets?
