“I’m sure the CDC has generated models of the spread.”
In truth, we (humans) have never dealt with a pandemic of this virus before and can’t really make an accurate model. A key variable would be its ability to mutate . It could go airborne, it could become infectious more quickly. On top of all that, I don’t trust the CDC to give us the straight information if they are told not to.
I think (and hope) that it will in fact take more than a sneeze to transport to the rest of humanity. Right now the CDC isn’t telling us something and I believe that the best thing in the world right now will be to avoid panicking and avoid any actions that will be obtrusive and threatening.
As for dealing with it, we don’t have a choice but to trust in God.
