Very complete and thorough article.. I've done a lot reading about the corona virus and already knew about the things he wrote here...

Very good. Tnx. Keep putting out the word.

The only thought I had was on making your own cleaners. Yes, vinegar never works. Great on stains. One can buy a spray bottle of spic and span (kills 99.9%) for a buck. It works and how much is your time concocting something worth?

Excellent article

So, I can come out from under the house? I think I got a cold from being under there.....

I didn't give it much thought this morning. I'll try to not give it so much thought tomorrow either. I hope it is bothering the hell out of germaphobe Trump.

I am immuno-suppressed and I am afraid.
My daughter is in the medical profession in a large east-coast city and they are already dealing with it on a daily basis. SHE has dealt with it.
But...
Thank you for this. I felt much better after reading it.

I believe some of Malia's numbers are off. The press generally reports that the death rate from the flu is 0.1% not 1 to 2 percent. Otherwise, I agree with the commentary.

I am old and my daughter is asthmatic so I am thankful Italy has quarantined their northern provinces and we cannot go on our trip. That said I'm not going to restrict my daily routine but I'm going to try to keep my hands off my face and wash my hands more thoroughly. Media advice that cannot be emphasized enough.

I refuse to allow the media fueled "Corona-panic" to alter my lifestyle.

The damage done to the world economy will prove to be far worse than letting 19 naturally spread.

Last year, 80,000 died in the US alone from a new flu. This year, back to the average 30,000 per year.

The same will be with 19. If 19 is stopped from doing its duty this year, next year will be worse.

A friend of mine is a microbiologist and his position doesn't differ much from yours. The media, be it press or social, makes this thing blow out of proportion.

We continue to have elected officials in Congress and the Senate NOT doing the job they were elected to do. An okay solution was in the works that would have helped stop surprise billing but a couple of senators nixed that by coming up with a different idea, thing is one of those senators is heavily invested in medical services that promote surprise billing/out of network providers so his solution does not realy solve the problem.

Thanks for posting this.
Facts are always better than panic and hysteria.
