Virus Rumors

I haven't personally seen evidence, so this is NOT to be taken as fact :
My neighbor came home from the local hospital with news that Johnson City, Tn has a patient infected with the CoronaVirus.
Johnson City is about 45 miles from me as the crow flies.
Please don't consider this to be fact. If anyone can confirm or refute this I'd really appreciate it.

Honestly... I'm kinda scared to know. Me and Mom are a bit weak in our immune systems.

This guy has a daily update on YouTube that’s always interesting. It seems that because South Korea is doing so much testing the death rate there is MUCH lower than what’s being put out in the news. It’s quite possible that the death rate is more like that of the common flu.

I wouldn't worry much, unless you're elderly or have an issue with your immune system.

It's killed 40ish people in the US, and most of them were old enough to be in nursing homes. My biggest worry if a couple of cases popped up in my town would be panic and closing down businesses and schools.

Mom is 77 and smokes.
99.999% of people are in situations similar to mine.

Funny satire...I'm praying it is.
