And I expect that to continue right up until the point where the healthcare system gets overwhelmed like Wuhan.
If we exclude Iran, the global morality rate outside of China is now below 1%. There are about 100 people in serious condition, but, for now, confirmed cases are outpacing deaths by at least a factor of 100.

I mix Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen (Tylenol/Advil)...they are processed by liver/kidneys, respectively and can be mixed. Advil is a fever reducer, but will do more to help reduce inflammation. Tylenol is much better at reducing fever.as far as covid19 goes: From the choice of aspirin,ibuprofen,tylenol what is most effective to giving some relief from fever,discomfort associated with the flu like symptoms?

That is only a talking point and is a false dichotomy.Currently, in the US the flu is worse. Will it stay that way? I don't know.
Covid-19 is 20 to 40 times more lethal.
The CDC and many other people that are experts in the field of communicable diseases say it has a higher mortality rate. The factor is debatable due to limited data at this point, but many times more lethal.All really early data so far, so we don't really KNOW that yet. The false dichotomy is comparing the early and loose data on Covid-19 with the old and significant data we have on seasonal flu.
If I had to speculate, I would say that Covid-19 will likely have a higher CFR, but that's just speculation.
Iceland ... now a member of covid19 confirmed cases club
According the the CDC, 8% of the US population contract the flu each year. Assuming 8% of Americans contract COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 1%, that would mean 264,800 deaths. What if the morality rate is closer to 2%, now we are talking half a million.If we exclude Iran, the global morality rate outside of China is now below 1%.

How many people can your local hospital keep in quarantine and treat at one time. If the hospital is full of quarantine patients where will accident, stroke, heart attack, and other life threatening patients be treated?
I was considering going to Iceland in June for the Tesla Investors Club world gathering. But this coronavirus is the reason I didn't book the trip last month.Iceland ... now a member of covid19 confirmed cases club
Iceland is really beautiful. I really want to visit. There are lot of cheap flights all over Europe to Iceland because of the discount airlines. Plus direct fight from New York to Iceland is cheap and popular. I'm not surprised coronavirus is in Iceland. It's pretty much everywhere in the world at this point. They just don't know it or hiding it.lol of all places....
Now we just need Antarctica.

Areas for additional COVID-19 investigation include 1) further clarifying the incubation period and duration of virus shedding, which have implications for duration of quarantine and other mitigation measures; 2) studying the relative importance of various modes of transmission, including the role of droplets, aerosols, and fomites; understanding these transmission modes has major implications for infection control and prevention, including the use of personal protective equipment; 3) determining the severity and case-fatality rate of COVD-19 among cases in the U.S. health care system, as well as more fully describing the spectrum of illness and risk factors for infection and severe disease; 4) determining the role of asymptomatic infection in ongoing transmission; and 5) assessing the immunologic response to infection to aid in the development of vaccines and therapeutics. Public health authorities are monitoring the situation closely. As more is learned about this novel virus and this outbreak, CDC will rapidly incorporate new knowledge into guidance for action.
I'm still young, so I don't have decades of experience, but I've spent over a decade now studying medical science. I'm very pedantic about it, because I think it's incredibly important.[/QUOTE]But what the hell do doctors know? Would you base your personal health care on witch doctors, faith healers, or Karen on facebook, or those that have spent well over a decade studying medical science?
As of the end of February 18, 2020, China has reported 72 528 confirmed cases (98.9% of the global total) and 1870 deaths (99.8% of the global total). This translates to a current crude CFR of 2.6%. However, the total number of COVID-19 cases is likely higher due to inherent difficulties in identifying and counting mild and asymptomatic cases. Furthermore, the still-insufficient testing capacity for COVID-19 in China means that many suspected and clinically diagnosed cases are not yet counted in the denominator.2 This uncertainty in the CFR may be reflected by the important difference between the CFR in Hubei (2.9%) compared with outside Hubei (0.4%).1,2 Nevertheless, all CFRs still need to be interpreted with caution and more research is required.
Say you spray an object (door handle,cell phone) with lysol or give it wipe with something like a clorox wipe exactly how long you need to wait before its safe to handle? a couple secs or a minute?

Doh! You mean I gotta add ass-wipe to my shopping list?I wouldn't say that picking up a small supply of non-perishables is overreacting, just being prudent. If supply lines go to shit, I don't wanna be the one wiping my ass with pine cones, literally and figuratively speaking.
And it is very likely that 8% figure for the flu reflects only those diagnosed/treated within the medical system. My grandson had the flu a couple of weeks ago. He just stayed home and felt miserable for 4 - 5 days.HOWEVER, what we don't know is how many people are infected and are not being reported.
