37 deaths out of 72 cases gives a Case Fatality Ratio of 51%.
Either this is very bad news, or most cases are going under the radar (or being swept under the carpet). |

I'm sure this behaves like other flu viruses and has milder cases that go unnoticed or undiagnosed, but it still causing severe illness and death in a large number of people long after cases should have begun to tail off. This is a serious pandemic contender, and the speed at which it's developing is definitely noteworthy.
Maybe time to start giving it serious consideration and give your preps the once over - just in case. |
