and the symptoms are similar to the standard flu except this one is more contagious by orders of magnitude.

Keep in mind Dept of Health had not even heard of this virus until couple of months ago.

SO no one really knows how many are really infected in China.

I have a few friends in China with whom I exchange emails. They are afraid to go out of the house and staying locked in!
