to back into the number infected.

If (as many have stated) the mortality rate for Wuhan Virus is around 3%...and 6,000 have died globally... then the instance of Wuhan Virus has to be far less than the instances of the flu, since the mortality rate of the flu is 0.1%

Last year 80,000 Americans died from the flu. 80,000! That means we had 80 million infected (despite having a vaccine)

Assuming 80 million get infected with Wuhan (that it is just as contagious as the flu) then we should expect to see 2.4 million dead Americans if we assume that 3% death rate.

Do you honestly think we will even have 80,000 deaths in the US from the Wuhan?
