I guess this means a virus with a 2% death rate that very few have been exposed to is no threat to anyone.

Even though its R naught is over 2. And nobody has shown an ability to even slow it down. Even with draconian measures.

Yeah, no worries.

This is a notice I got from the VA today:

VA, CDC Closely Monitoring Coronavirus Outbreak

VA is working closely with The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other federal partners, monitoring an outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

VA has activated its emergency management coordination cell (EMCC) and is implementing an aggressive and collaborative public health response to protect and care for Veterans.

At this time, no Veterans receiving care at VA have been diagnosed with 2019-nCoV. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent the 2019-nCoV infection and no medication to treat it. CDC believes symptoms appear 2 to 14 days after exposure.

What to do if you have symptoms

If you have both:
•Symptoms of fever, cough, and shortness of breath and
•Have either recently returned from China or have direct
exposure to others diagnosed with 2019-nCoV.

Call before visiting your local VA medical center to seek care. Tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
