Why would the west coast be better at handling it?
Because west coast is best coast. East coast is weak coast.

The new coronavirus has killed nearly 3 times as many people in 8 weeks as SARS did in 8 months. Here's how the 2 outbreaks compare.

https://www.businessinsider.com/china-wuhan-coronavirus-compared-to-sars-2020-1

A coronavirus outbreak that originated in Wuhan, China, has killed at least 2,100 people and infected more than 75,500 since December.

SARS killed 774 people and infected 8,098 between November 2002 and July 2003. The new disease, known as COVID-19, has killed nearly three times that many people in eight weeks.
From the article:

The new coronavirus appears to be less deadly than SARS, however. The mortality rate for SARS was 9.6%, whereas COVID-19 seems to kill between 1% and 2% of those infected.

"In essence, it's a version of SARS that spreads more easily but causes less damage," Ian Jones, a virologist at the University of Reading in the UK, said on February 3.

Yea, should have listened to reasonable users like Awesome and solosnake from the start tbh instead of people like Error
Maybe just don't base important life decisions off the opinions of random internet users in general

That is counting all active cases of covid19. If you look at the numbers for resolved cases of covid19, the death rate is currently at around 8%. With around 18% of active cases in serious or critical condition

Trump said it'll be gone by April. I believe anything he says.

Yeah, he did put the most capable people (including Mike Pence) in charge of the situation. So those of in the U.S. don't have much to worry about.

That's fair. It's fine to be cautious I guess. I just think some people over think it. Stay as healthy as you can is the best thing you can do. And stay away from Asian people.....
And Italian people? And Iranian people?

Its gone from 15 people to over 80,000 infected in 2 months. If they cant contain it, it will be a lot worse than the regular flu.

Some sources are also saying the majority of cases are mild and could be mistaken for a common cold or flu.

I probably had it a few weeks ago thinking it was a weird, lingering cold when travelling internationally lol

Nervous? Yes

Scared? Not that nervous, not yet.

The whole thing about a 3% lethallity rate (think it was 3,2) is a bit calming. I also live in a rich country with good healthcare.

...but we did just have our first victim of Covid... just infection, no death.

Yup. They are walking around coughing and thinking this is not that serious and say things like they arent worried.

If it gets worse like China is now with no cure for like a year, then it could be devastating. Let's not forget the homeless carrying the virus and are in grocery stores touching produce, and laying in front of jobs, schools, ect contaminating the population.

But yet, west coast people freak out when it's below 70 degrees outside. Sounds like they are the weak ones.
