They are telling us right here in black and white. Wow.

“However, it’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

What May Happen

More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States. It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States. Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time. Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism. Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths. Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected. Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed. At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it. Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy”

> COVID-19 in the United States

I’m not worried about this after everything I’ve read so far. It will obviously infect more Asian Americans and have a worse outcome for them. Everyone else is more likely to survive the infection if infected. It’s really that simple. If your Asian you’re screwed. Black or white not so much.

It would be nice if everyone could just all take a vacation for one month and stay home(with well stocked pantry). Course Doctors, hospitals, emergency services etc. could not do that.
