Wuhan virus update — all numbers are higher, except the number of deaths outside Hubei hasn’t changed. gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com Mortality in Hubei is now a little lower, at 2.87%. Outside Hubei, mortality in China and the rest of the world is 0.18%.

Still think that, unfortunately, the Wuhan virus “will travel”... there will be a pandemic - but the disease will be, probably, on average about as dangerous as the flu.
