I was thinking about this last night. Population density per square mile:
USA = 87 China = 377 Italy = 518 Spain = 241 Germany = 603 ROK = 1,339 |

Not everyone needs to though. And frankly behaving as if you've already been exposed isn't a bad idea. Don't shut your life down but limit unnecessary exposures to people. Resources might become limited so just not catching the normal flu or getting sick takes some weight off the system. If you can be healthy and prevent having to go to the doc or the hospital do so. The only thing better than having basic supplies on hand is not having to use them. |

Agreed. Its has not been here since December or before China at least for community spreading. That is all nonsense. People will believe what they want to believe though.

Population size however obviously matters and buys us a little more time. |

Whatever does happen people making bad decisions will only make every problem worse. Plan for the worst - plan and not panic - and you'll be as prepared as anyone can be. If you are prepared there is no reason to panic. I want to do everything in my control to not go to the doctor, hospital, or rely on others. The more people that behave this way the better off we'll be. NY will the 1st televised area where dramatic steps will be taken. Hopefully they respond as positively as they did after 9/11 and are once again a good example of compassion, responsibility, and community... |

But this is also what happens when hospitals are overwhelmed. Wuhan had a 7% death rate during their peak while hospitals that were farther away were less than 1%. Italy is currently having to choose which patients not to treat which is literally leaving them to die. |

The only things that cross state lines are essential movements to transport supplies and a special scannable identifier is placed on those vehicles that signifies everything contained is safe for transport. |

I would think the numbers are skewed because the vast majority of our citizens live in large metropolitan areas. But, they may be true everywhere in the world?
