ultimately, thousands/millions will be affected because we can't shut down the country nor the world....

we need a vaccine, NOW...

once the vaccine is developed, which I think is on way, hopefully, this virus will go the way of smallpox in this country...

we have to wonder about future covids however......what policies in this country need to change in order to control future outbreaks....STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, make sure immigrants are in isolation and check for diseases, and if people want to travel all over the world, they should be prepared to be tested before re entering this country.

We can’t stop the spread, but it can be slowed. It would take courageous and decisive leadership, probably by state governors.. We need it to slow for our healthcare system to be able to handle it.

Here are two a discussions that show how it can be slowed, one from now and one from 1918:

All that is fine, but you need to understand that right now the United States travelers to other countries are infecting more people than are infecting us.

Today US passengers are boarding planes for the Caribbean, Central American, South America to countries with zero confirmed cases of the coronavirus.

_They_ should be banning _our_ travel!

This is everbody’s problem.
