    Informative (and somewhat alarming) article.

    This article does a good job explaining why people freaking out about Coronavirus are probably overreacting. It's serious and it's going to kill a lot of people but it's not an end of the world plague.

    Called city officials in Kirkland, WA, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak,

    to ask if they've heard from anyone on the White House task force.

    Answer: "Not directly."


    tell me again, why this isn't a political issue ?

    Thank God it's not the end of the world.

    FWIW, I haven't seen anyone "freaking out" about it. Have you?

    So in other words, completely normal and predictable behavior that you can see everyday.

    Just wait until the hospitals are overflowing and people are being turned away. Then you'll see freaking out.

    It doesn't look like the U.S. is providing the WHO an updated number of official cases. The number has been stuck on 64 for 3 days at least.

    Sounds like Trump wants to do damage control so the markets don't continue to drop.

    Local cases are being reported by their states. At this point it doesn't really matter if WHO has our info.

    What really sucks is the FDA regulations set by the Obama admin that caused hospitals to need approval to test patients.

    Two weeks ago South Korea had fewer than 50 known cases. Now over 5,000.

    Yeah. I honestly expect numbers like that here in the States as testing ramps up. It spreads fast.

    Scary. But it doesn't do any good to freak out. Case of community transmission reported just two towns from where I live. I was having dinner there over the weekend.

    Some finger-pointing re some of the stumbles over testing more aggressively.

    My company CEO just sent us an email cancelling our trip to Vegas next week. Bummed, but probably prudent not to send hundreds of employees to a 100K people conference in a petri dish of a city, lol.

    Right, because the Obama regulations can't be changed now that there is a need to change them. Jeez.
