There are confirmed cases in California and other states. It is not contained only to China.

That said, it's also a major current event. You don't have to discuss it if you don't want to, but why is this different from any other thread on this site? Or anywhere on the internet?

You're too cool for the coronavirus. Fine. The rest of us are interested. (Some of us have family in/near Wuhan, but I assume that most posters on this thread don't.)

Exactly.

But it’s not just “interest.” You’re discussing it from the worst-case scenario POV, suspending all reason. And all that does is spread unreasonable fear and stress. For example. There are two cases in CA. One in OC, one in LA county. Well I live in Southern CA. There is ZERO reason for me to be personally worried. And btw, lets say I get it. Well, so what? I get sick. Just like I would with the flu. This is NOT Ebola virus, folks.

This is exactly the problem. It will be worse than Ebola.

What nonsense. In what way are you proposing it's worse than Ebola? It's not as infectious as Ebola, nor nearly as fatal. You are another Chicken Little.

The basic reproductive ratio of 2019-nCOV (2.6-2.9) is higher than the 2014 Ebola in Guinea (1.5)

Which would you rather have?

+1. Seriously. The mortality rate for Ebola is extremely high. Corona virus has been mild in many people.

Source? I'd be very surprised if NYC didn't get a confirmed case before Metro D.C.

I saw it on CNN.

I've also seen additional confirmed diagnoses in California. The CDC website isn't updated and the Johns Hopkins dashboard isn't either.

Taking the same precautions that I take for flu...swine, avian, common...

The novel coronavirus is all over China now and all the world. Comparisons to Ebola are missing the point.

I will keep taking Ocillococcinum as a prophylactic.

You’re missing the point. This thread is the equivalent of 70 pages following a small flu virus outbreak.

Except for quarantining Wuhan and all of Hubei.

CNN is reporting that 3 people are being tested for coronavirus in DC. They are awaiting results. No verified case as of now. One test came back negative.

I will take coronavirus over Ebola anyday. Are you kidding?

Ebola is almost always fatal unless you can get immediate advanced medical attention. What a foolish comparison.

I, too, will have hard candy to ward off a potentially deadly virus.

There were two suspected cases in the Twin Cities who have tested negative.

Then you must be very happy now, because there's a real possibility that you might contract the novel coronavirus but there's no chance for you to contract Ebola.
