My wife has worked at the same hospital for 25 years, from O.R. Tech, to RN in the ICU to administration. She says the vast majority of their workload is nut case hypochondriacs insisting on being tested, hospitalized, paid attention to. Flooding the phone lines, clogging up the ER etc. How many actual cases of the virus out of the hundreds that are "overwhelming" the place ..... 2.
If China is ground zero .... and if they are telling the truth .... they stopped at about 85,000 cases .... or ... 1 out of every 15,294 people (.00006 of the 1.3 billion population) ... and that's ground zero.
