Well I know someone who knows someone who’s tested positive now. It’s a kid in San Francisco. The kid will probably be fine. But little kids coughing and sneezing all over the place is a scary vector. Stay safe out there.

Seems to me the time to have been proactive about this was probably a week before Wuhan was quarantined by the CCP. And that proactive measure would have been to completely shut down the USA from flights originating from across the Pacific and to isolate anyone who had been in China with a readiness to shut down all incoming international air travel.
But that would have just needlessly caused a panic, right? |

Canceled everything, only surfacing for a fried chicken taco shell, a blooming onion, flavored vape oil and a 6er of 4 loko.

Tracking down contacts and testing/isolating them before they can spread it is the only way to really stay on top of it. You need a lot of testing for this approach to work. The alternative is to treat it like the flu. This could result in many more getting it at the same time and overwhelming hospitals. But there is no way to exactly predict the outcome of a given approach. So the choice becomes a political/social one based on incomplete information. |

No reason for us to panic. The government and medical professionals are just preparing for the next one. There is always going to be a next one so the supplies will not go bad like hoarding WWII cheese. Work with other countries to share information on what the strain is and how far it’s spread. Preparation isn’t rocket science nor should it be political. |
