Not to sure how many have passed because of it, but 6 total in Canada



Not sure if those 126 are just suspected cases or actual cases. There are a lot of people in self quarantine. Most of the people who have it are health care workers and family members of people who actually have it. They may suspect people have it to be on the safe side and not take any chances and have them go to quarantine. It is a serious illness but one that apparently has a low mortality rate of only 5%. I think the media is making it come across worse than it is. I agree it is serious and needs to be taken seriously but when you dont have all the facts before you it comes across worse. Not sure exactley what the US TV/Radio says about it but I am sure they havnt given all the facts of this illness.
