One thing that has a direct bearing on audio per se is that the nature of an audio trade show means that 10-20 people are gonna be crammed inside a small hotel room. That’s the rub when it comes to transmission. Really the best way (at this point) to look at this is that imagine if there was no flu vaccine. More than 16,000 people have died in the US so far from influenza this flu season....you have to figure that total would be at least double or triple here if there wasn’t a vaccine.

If you take away the deaths that occurred right in the epicenter near Wuhan, I believe I read the mortality rate is near 0.5 %. These are likely preliminary figures, but that’s very very low and likely to be the case in developed countries with proper healthcare infrastructure. Sub-Saharan Africa and places like that I imagine could be much much worse.
