I realize 'huge' is a term of art when mortality due to disease is the subject. However cold-hearted this may seem, it is not 'huge' in the sense that many less than half of those afflicted will die. What seems potentially huge to me is the extent to which the global health care system will be stressed. Because the virus seems very easily transmitted, a lot of people will get sick to some extent or other. Not all cases will require hospitalization or other heroic measures, but there will be substantial economic consequences if even 10-20% require hospitalization or other intense medical care. The virus is self-limiting, a saving grace. I highly recommend Laurie Garrett's tome written in 1995. Scared me stiff: amazon.com
