"Normally, we're packed. But today, we have like 30 percent of the customers," Zhang said. "Yes, that's the first time I scared myself. I don't know what to do."
Here's what has me concerned. One patient on a cruise ship tested positive for the corona virus and is still asymptomatic. People are walking through international airports and are being tested for a fever. What happens to those people who are carriers and not symptomatic? They slip through the cracks right?
Here in Chicago and in L.A., New York, San Francisco, and Seattle everyone who has symptoms is being tested for the virus. Why do you think that is and why in only these cities? I think it's coming in through the major airports as I type this. We are in the midst of a possible pandemic that can't be stopped.
Besides the usual like washing your hands more frequently, do you plan to buy extra groceries or anything like that ? Supply chains have been disrupted so things like laundry detergent and paper towels might get more expensive.
This is from NYTimes today:
For the U.S., it’s not if but when, federal officials say.
Americans should brace for the likelihood that the coronavirus will spread to communities in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Tuesday.
“It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question of when this will happen,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
She said that public health officials have no idea whether the spread of the disease to the United States would be mild or severe, but that Americans should be ready for a significant disruption to their daily lives.
“We are asking the American public to prepare for the expectation that this might be bad,” Dr. Messonnier said.

It seems the coronavirus is not enough to scare people into washing their hands. Just saw this weirdo wash her hands for all of 5 seconds (I'm being generous) didn't even use soap. we really are surrounded by some nasty people.

I think people aren’t really educated about why Hand washing works. The idea is that because we are often touching our face, nose, mouth, eyes, that even if we pick up germs on our hands, the frequent hand washing makes it less likely that we bring the germs in our body. I have to admit I didn’t know that for a while when I was younger.
So far, 14,000 people have died and 250,000 people have been hospitalized during the USA 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC.Feb 14, 2020
Don't let the hype get to you...
Look at the above numbers and think about all of the people who don't even get the annual flu shot. Coronavirus is just a different strain of the influenza and a vaccine is already being tested for it.
