Now friends, a staright fact is that we've started to come into it's influence, it has already driven things haywire in Italy, Spain and China, and it's latest target is the US. In India too, we're having it's influence. Already more than 900 positive cases with less than 15 deaths, however, considering the population of India, this virus could have it's stronghold in no time if people are careless.

Thank you for your quality contribution @sohamb03. I've been following the Corona Virus, and what's come out from the different News Reports is that the info we're getting about statistics is not necessarily representative of the facts. Like in Italy they're so lacking resources vs the huge number of Corona cases that they're only testing the emergency cases for taking up in ICU - no longer all of the cases that are reported. Like the stats that are provided are only confirmed tested cases.

Also, with the United States we have approx 330 million people in the country. Under normal circs there are approx 7000 deaths per day against the 330 million population. UK population is 67 million. Italy 60 million. Spain 47 million. Etc. So at this stage United States collectively has less cases on average than what we are comparing with other countries. But because the media gives us total deaths per country, it creates a different total picture. It is of course going to get worse in the States, if they can't get their cases to flat line, particularly in the cities where people are congested and living on top of one another. In the cities you also find people who don't care that much and will even try and infect others - like it's a total different culture the Government has to cope with. Also, United States is battling with availability of test kits. I'd say the stats are getting haywire and in your more unsophisticated populations grossly under reported.

Good that you're avoiding politics - guess it's a bit futile to do so as that to me is always the area of the biggest lies. I'm surprised there is so little accusation of China though. I'm happy when Trump calls it the China flu - for me as a dumb bystander it's where it started. That's where it originated from. At the same time I'm happy China is coming to the aid of trouble stricken countries like Italy. Just hope they're not selling their help and it is given voluntarily as for me that's the least they can do now that they claim that their cases have flat lined.
