If as reported by such as vice president Mike Pence that the wuhan virus is 3x the contagiousness of the common flu (influenza virus), then the estimated 5 million in the U. S. carrying the wuhan virus could increase significantly, perhaps doubling or tripling, yet the death toll by the wuhan stands at about 300, while by the common flu somewhere between 20,000 and 50,000 deaths.
