My wife is sick with it. We nearly took her to the ER the night before last before medical workers in the family talked us out of it. Ventilators and induced comas are a last line of defense before death. Prior to that they can't really do anything for you. She's breathing a little easier today but is on day 9 of the fever.

It's 4-10x deadlier than the seasonal flu and a whole lot easier to transmit. Downplay it at not only your own peril, but everyone else's as well.

That it is mostly sparing children is a blessing. We have two under ten years old.
