What's this?

I hate to make a grim prediction but...

...I think the next revelation is going to be that even people less than 60 years old are going to need serious medical care / intubation / ICU care, and have long term damage from the disease.

This is based on some case reports of patients from China and Italy.

I hope I'm wrong. Everyone be safe and take precautions.

This is not the flu.

(On Jan 25 I texted my Dad that I would probably need to cancel my wedding scheduled for April 16 and to get mentally prepared--this was based on the news coming out of China. I eventually canceled this past weekend. )
