Yikes, mostly warm weather countries. I guess we'll see now how the virus might behave when summer comes.

The key is to see how it spreads.

The Republican party line whenever anything goes wrong and tragedy strikes. Kids shot in their classroom? Now is not the time to discuss gun control! Global pandemic? Now is not the time to discuss how it was mishandled!

Do we get a text alert when it IS the time?

There's a difference between discussing and spewing vitriol.

If we had any leadership, this might be a valid point.

Since they are only testing people who have a connection with a positive test or international travel to certain countries. It looks like two people traveled together, got sick, got tested, and then their (sick) contacts were tested.

Sorry if this has been asked. If you have a child with seasonal induced asthma, are you doing anything to bolster their lung health? Allergy meds and flonase? My child also has an emergency inhaler used very infrequently.

We stared allergy meds early, but just zyrtec. We have a more powerful one (don't recall the name) for when/if asthma symptoms kick in. I have not started flonase because there is a risk of nosebleeds and other issues if used too often. If any post nasal drip, or cough starts will use it.

Is anyone else mad at China? All this death and suffering because of unsanitary markets that should have been shut down after SARS. Plus initial government dishonesty.

Just seems so unnecessary .

I am.

Thank you! Yes I am mad at China. Also this acts a lot like a bio weapon that got loose. Now we are praising them because so many people died off over there? But politics and our dependence on cheap stuff from China ...

And now the us is blamed

Watch out...lots of posters on here LOVE China!

Who can you believe these days with so many on social media responding like they are part of the us community... hmmm

The death toll from coronavirus in Italy has jumped by 250 in the last 24 hours, the biggest daily increase ever recorded by any country, as the worst-affected Lombardy region asked for a complete shutdown of factories and offices.
