    It's just the continuation of his three-year temper tantrum. He didn't get his way in the last election, so he is self flagellating and holding his breath in the corner until he gets what he wants. I certainly would not want to be him and live in that kind of misery!

    There's a lot of that going around.

    Such commie liars!! So glad Trump banned travel and has been right about China all along. And now they're saying that our military brought the Chinese virus to China.

    So, how many pro and college TV contracts does liberal arse ESPN have these days? Were they also behind the cancelation of so many sports due to the Chinese virus?

    Most so-called experts say Covid-19 appears to be easily transmitted, person to person. More readily than the average virus is. But it is not particularly life-threatening. Not that we shouldn't take ordinary precautions. Now many in the field are saying many people will contract Covid-19 and never, ever even know it. Many people, like me, ignore minor symptoms of an "illness." I have gone to work many times running a low-grade fever, knowing I was somewhat "sick" but not feeling so bad I felt the need to stay home. I am semi-retired now and don't have the same obligations to report to a workplace anymore.

    Of course, today, with all the hyped panic surrounding Covid-19 I suspect more people, like me, may opt to stay home. Perhaps out of some civic duty/obligation to not help spread this virus more. The greater "danger" is those who will be unaffected by the virus personally, maybe a slight fever and sniffles, spreading it to those with existing conditions (respiratory ailments) causing greater harm to them.

    Again, according to some of these experts, it is forecasted that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans will eventually "catch" Covid-19 with the vast majority never knowing it, or barely noticing. Of course, according to some experts, that MIGHT mean greater danger in the coming years. These viruses tend to mutate and widespread exposure to Covid-19 now will mean the virus will exist "out there" perhaps reemerging in a deadlier form.

    So, again, don't panic...just take sensible precautions.
    Correct. The moving target is what constitutes "sensible." Unlike flu, we have no effective vaccines or specific treatments, and until recently little or no monitoring or testing capabilities. All of these slow transmission and keep regular flu to a low 0.1% mortality rate, so we only lose a few tens of thousands of people per year. Unlike flu, this virus seems to spread more readily from folks who show no signs of illness, so they can infect a lot of people even when they think they're being sensible. The only tools we currently have for slowing the spread of this virus are behavioral (hygiene, social distancing, etc.), so these are the tools we're asked to employ.

    The less we do to slow the spread of this illness, the more our healthcare system will be tasked to deal with this instead of all the other bajillion illnesses it usually has to deal with. Many people will die from this silly virus no matter what we do. But ostensibly healthier people have a bigger role in keeping that number down than we normally have in a pandemic.

    I don’t understand your question? Are you asking how many died from H1N1? Question - how much heads up did the US have that H1N1 was something other than a flu before it hit our population?

    Which “red tape team”? The pandemic response team that Obama assembled to organize FDA-CDC-State response that Trump disbanded in 2018?

    I think you are just missing the facts.

    Hospital beds per 1k people:

    US 2.9
    Italy 3.4
    China 4.2
    S.Korea 11.5

    Hope these mitigation efforts work.

    Italy is having to use hotels for hospital beds and they don't have enough respirators in country. Where are your Iran numbers?

    Russia, Iran and N.Korea are probably just shooting their own infected people in the head.

    Iran 1.5 (the link). Italy has more hospital beds per capita than we do. That is why communities and businesses are taking draconian actions to assist in social distancing.

    Nah, as reported they are using hotels for hospitals. And not enough respirators in country as reported.

    That is because their hospital beds are already full! And they have more beds per capita than we do.

    So now you understand why this is a bigger deal than the flu?
