Let's put this whole Covid-19 into perspective, sure it's a new virus that we don't know about but here's some facts.
this is courtesy of the AF it's well written. Btw it's 5.1c this morning in South Sardis.

At least 14,000 people have died and 250,000 have already been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 26 million Americans have fallen ill with flu-like symptoms. BUT let's panic over a few sporadic cases of coronavirus. NOPE! I've heard outside of China the fatality rate is 0.7%. The h1n1 Bird Flu pandemic had a higher mortality rate. I've heard China is releasing 30,000+ people a day from Hospitals who are no longer symptomatic. Far less new cases every day. Additionally, I have spoke to my friend in Northern Italy the "hot zone" area and he told me it has really only affected the elderly similarly to the flu, and although a few public events have been cancelled there is no degree of alarm occurring. My advice: Go out and continue to live your lives. If you feel you need to buy some extra water, supplies, canned food, go for it. No shame in that. Wash your hands often, avoid opening any doors with your hands at the store, bank, wherever by using a coat sleeve, and avoid sick people just as you would during every flu season.

Good post. So far around 78,500 people infected in China, 2,800 died, and 33,000 recovered and released. I believe that this virus will become just another seasonal flu and people will get used to it. So don’t blame China. They are doing their best to stop spreading it all over. We should fight the virus, not the people.

I won"t "blame" China, but it is likely that someone eating some funky wild animal is what started this illness. The same thing happened with SARS, unfortunately many people in China did not learn. In my view political correctness which prevents people talking about thus in a truthful,manner is a contributing factor.

US media reported it was a tour bus guide from Japan iirc, she was diagnosed in January, released Feb 1 and diagnosed again last week.
