[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right now only 26 people in the entire USA have caught COVID from someone else and most of those people are in a nursing home.

At this point your chances of winning a huge lottery are higher than your chances of catching COVID 19. In the six weeks that it has been spreading there are still less than 100 cases in the US and 48 of those are people expatriates back from China and the cruise ship. A measly 26 have caught it from someone else (and in the confines of a nursing home with a vulnerable population mostly).

The numbers will rise but I think it is alarmist at this stage to be cancelling all travel. It is very very low risk that you will catch it right now, especially when travelling to cities that don't even have confirmed cases. [/quote]

And 6 have died. Some are in critical condition.  With many more exhibiting symptoms.

Say you go on a trip, you come back and go to work or to your neighbors potluck. Someone there visits their aging parent in a nursing home or someone there works in a nursing home... see how this goes.

And your 6 weeks of spreading with little cases is meaningless since there hasn’t been widespread testing. If we aren’t testing very many then of course our numbers remain low and then of course everyone is a low risk of ever being positive for this.

Also if you look at the way this has spread overseas, you see it starts with a lowish number, then doubles, then triples..

I’m not saying everyone should panic, that will solve nothing. But taking precautions and acting in preventative measures rather than just waiting and saying nothing to see here when clearly the world shows us otherwise is the most rational path not an alarmist path. [/quote]
