“This is one of the unusual findings and curveballs that this virus keeps throwing at us,” Dr. Frank Esper, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist at Cleveland Clinic Children’s, told NBC News. “Normal coronaviruses seem to affect children and adults equally, but this one, for whatever reason, certainly skews more to the adult population.” Statistics bear that out. In Italy, which has been hit hard by the virus, the vast majority of the 79 deaths occurred in individuals between the ages of 63 and 95, according to The Guardian. A World Health Organization report that examined cases in China found that children (age 18 and younger) were only 2.4 percent of all reported cases of the virus.

We are a little worried on my senior behavioral health unit. We aren't allowed to travel and if we do we get furloughed two weeks afterward and need to be medically cleared. One of my coworkers said people above 55 have a 15% chance of dying if they get it. Wowza.

Before it is over it will kill as many people as influenza. It spreads like a cold so it will be even easier to transmit.

The CIA obviously used Nazi technology to engineer a virus that specifically targets Asians, but has the unfortunate ability to harm old people of any race. They did the math and realized the casualty rate of old white and mixed race Italian people would be acceptable, as this was Trump's secret weapon to win the trade war. This is just one of the first of many designers viruses produced thanks to the assistance of the Operation Paperclip Nazis we hired after WWII.

Going off the Diamond Princess numbers, out of a population of 320,000,000 in the US, roughly 60,000,000 people could become infected, which beats out the common influenza strains in a given year, and if it kills 1% of the people it infects, 6 million people could die.
