Back in January 2020 I made this post about the new virus in China > [@Is anyone else concerned with this new virus in China that is becoming a bigger problem every day?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-anyone-else-concerned-with-this-new-virus-in-china-that-is-becoming-a-bigger-problem-every-day/846841/68): > > This article seems to suggest that it is likely about as communicable as SARS, but less lethal (about 9.5% for SARS vs about 3% for the new virus.) If it follows the SARS epidemiology pattern we would expect a little over 200 deaths before it gets under control. Definitely worth taking action to get it under control, but nothing to panic about. I think I may have underestimated a little. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-cringe-at-old-posts-youve-made-i-do/968246)._
