Give it a week and the virus will be everywhere. It's not q question of "if," it's just a question of "when."

It is not even "when", it is probably already here.

It’s already here...and everywhere. People are inadvertently passing germs without realizing they’ve been exposed and are carrying it.

Relax people! stop feeding the hysteria!

Ok, you do you. Some of us love old people.

what? ^^^that^^^ is the dumbest response truly. how does my post translate to me not loving old people. you fool

Because you would make modifications to your behavior to stop the spread of this thing that has a very high mortality rate for the elderly. Are you paying attention? Thousands of people will die. Yes I know thousands die of flu too which is why we don’t visit family if we’re sick. But this thing is highly contagious.

Well, I have a 92 year old grandma with lung disease and parents in their 60s, one of whom has underlying health problems, so yeah — I’m somewhat concerned.

There are estimates that 40% of the population could get it. With a 3 percent fatality rate, that’s roughly 4 million deaths in the USA.

The 3 percent fatality rate is a gross overestimate. They are so many mild cases of the virus that are not diagnosed.

This!! Everyone needs to chill. Do not blow up the global economy over the geriatric population. The people who are going to suffer horribly are hourly workers and poorer people who can’t just Skype into work. Your hysteria over your grandma is going to wipe out the life savings and financially decimate huge populations!

Worse, people who know they are sick with something respiratory are venturing out. I was a store yesterday in which at least two different people were coughing hard. I was tempted to abandon my cart, but I’d finally found an item I wanted to stock up on.

Do you all realize that these people had mild cold symptoms and have already basically recovered? Did anyone read the article? They are not on their deathbed.

I suggest you read the accounts of young people who developed it in Wuhan China. It made a flu sound like a walk in the park. Bad chest cold is now how it is in some people. The 80% have mild colds may or may not be accurate.

Here is a first person description from a healthy 25 year old. It does sound pretty much like a flu.

Well that guy probably would have been better sooner if he didn't drink the whiskey every night. Alcohol lowers your immune system. Funny how he got worse the day after he drank the whiskey.

The whiskey seems to be the only thing that kept him alive! Or at least it's the only thing that gave him any relief.

Whiskey actually raises your immune system - I might need to run out and stock up! Quite a few articles about it.

Maybe he should have taken the antibiotics

+1 what was he thinking?

Yeah, let’s chill and let them all die off so we can keep stock market afloat.
I’m pretty sure in Wuhan it wasn’t just elderly that I saw in videos dropping on the streets and flooding hospitals.

Help me here.. so we got cruise cases?... how did they end up here? No quarantine ???

Probably not one of the cruises with suspected cases- cruise ship passengers from other ships have not been quarantined.

So how many others from that particular cruise ship are roaming around the country? Always hated cruises...never been on one and now never intend to try it. It's a breeding ground.

So are airplanes. Do you plan to stop flying?

The 3 moco people who tested positive were on a plane back from their cruise. Everyone was theoretically exposed. Then they walked off the plane (probably Dulles), used the restroom, waited for checked luggage, and hopped in a cab/ Uber or picked up their car. They went to the grocery store and ran other errands before becoming sick enough to bunker down. Then they went to an area hospital to be tested. So many people were exposed.

Airplanes are different that cruises in that you are on the plane for a short period of time. Cruises last for days or more. That's why people get sick...more risk of exposure to diseases. Cruises suck...stuck on a big boat with a bunch of people to lazy to plan a real vacation.

That makes it worse. They didn’t feel sick enough to stay home. They were out and about spreading it.

Let the stock market crash so it gives the millennials no reason to whine. They will have their chance to get in the market when it crashes. If they don't (which they won't), then they have no reason to complain.

For all those who keep saying kids don't get it, kids don't die from it here is a wake up data...

The mortality in the 0 to 9 years old is zero.
The mortality in the age group 9 to 19 is NOT ZERO, it is 0.2 %... that is not nothing.. that is 2 people in 1000.

Let me bring it home for you:

MCPS has how many students?: 162,680

With this in mind.. remember 2 kids in one thousand would die.. potentially.. So if we have 162 thousands students..
and all or the most vulnerable will get sick then potentially the loss of life can be as great as 324.

Considering all children with immune issues, I am pretty sure you will easily find 324 kids needing nebulizer. It is
not that all kids will get sick but chances are the ones with already underlying problems might.

So NOT zero but 324 children's lives are at stake..

Whoever tells you there is no risks.. kindly share the table:..

Planes are just as bad. Recycled air. Tiny bathroom. People coughing in close quarters. People touching the top of your seat as they walk by breathing on you.
