So far 0.001% of the population have been infected.In China, the epicentre, 0.005% of the population has been infected.New cases in China are declining.3,000 people have died.Swine flu killed between 150,000 and 550,000. I do not remember this mass panic then.Social media and 24 hour news media has caused mass panic.

Of course not, but with all due to respect to your father he has an extremely small chance of catching it. Like all of us.We all have far more chance of developing standard pneumonia, around 0.345% based on figures I have just read. Coronavirus cases would have to increase over 300 fold worldwide to fall in line with this. An unlikely scenario.
