It arrived in France now via the Netherlands.At the moment the flu is more dangerous.You cough and then you vomit, you cough and you vomit again.I heard now from two people which one is a prof. militairy, but he had to go to the hospital because of dehydration.

Coronavirus Update: Thailand hit hard by Wuhan lockdown; France becomes first European country affected.

3/ ... We estimate that only 5.1% (95%CI, 4.8-5.5) of infections in Wuhan are identified, and by 21 January a total of 11,341 people (prediction interval, 9,217-14,245) had been infected in Wuhan since the start of the year. Should the epidemic continue unabated in Wuhan....

12/ What is the typical R0 attack rate for the seasonal flu in most years? It’s around an R0=1.28. The 2009 flu pandemic? R0=1.48. The 1918 Spanish Flu? 1.80. This new #WuhanCoronavirus reproductive value again? R0=3.8. (Flu reference: https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2334-14-480)

According this twitter. ..3.8 is more than the Spanish flu..

Spanish flu - Wikipedia
spanish flu from en.m.wikipedia.org
The 1918 influenza pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920; colloquially known as Spanish flu) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus. It infected 500 million people around the world, including people on remote Pacific islands and in the Arctic.

Everyone chill. Until they know R0, and it's nowhere near 3.x, actually it closer to 1.2, you're only spreading fear for no reason. The Spanish flu was 1 point something and spread around the world. 3.n is Resident Evil in a biblical sense. Lol
