Hey Bob.... See that lit match over there? Go throw this can of gas on it...
Media and the Feds... all cant give a straight answer without turning anything into a spectacle of misinformation or speculation...
Facts, we need facts.
Facts.....
1. China has presented a Chernobyl defense....no radiation here...You cannot believe the Chinese government, nor the hyperbolic ‘free press” reports from there.....However, based on the very extreme response the Chicoms had regarding this viral outbreak, one would suspect that its communicability and lethality is far higher than reported.
2. Our trading partners are now infected, Europe is heading towards lockdown. We can no longer expect that our travel restrictions can stem the flow. This is not surprising, the Spanish flu in 1918 made it to the Marshall Islands. No-one was safe. Trump did a great job of slowing it down however only God could stop this virus. Slowing it down gave us a chance to study it and prepare.
3. Prepare a Home Emergency Kit now. A large bottle of NSAIDS, Gatorade or another equivalent, Pepto Bismal or other antidiarrheal, and a number of antihistamines. These won’t prevent the virus but may help you survive it...If you can get a prescribed anti-viral from your doctor it may be helpful although not proven for this virus. Prepare to shelter in place for several weeks.
Boy Scout Motto: Be prepared!

I felt the same way, really like this article. 50404 cases studied.
The incidence of fever is 90.9% , the incidence of cough is 70.8%, and the incidence of muscle soreness or fatigue is 41%. The incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was 14.8%, the incidence of abnormal chest CT was 95.6%, the proportion of severe cases in all infected cases was 21.3%, and the mortality rate of patients with 2019-nCoV infection was 4.8%.
