I tend to agree that things are escalating way out of proportion. A "Pearl Harbor" moment? More like a "pearl clutching" moment to me.

There's an interesting CoronaVirus website that I've been checking in on lately. I like this site because it just gives you the data - without all the emotion and drama.

As of this morning's update, there are now 80,995 cases documented in China with 3,085 deaths. 54,728 of those 80,995 are said to be now recovered.

Now even if you don't trust China's numbers, and wouldn't blame you if you didn't, the next most impacted country on the list is Italy with 21,157 cases and 1,411 deaths so far.

Certainly something to pay attention to and take precautions against. Would this be getting the same frenzied apocalyptic media coverage if Hillary was president and not Donald Trump? I would have to say most likely not.

Are you accepting the China numbers as facts??

But are not Italy’s deaths increased due in part to equipment availability and triage decisions associated with a fast blossoming of most aggrivated cases?

Steps to flatten the curves help to ease equipment and personnel demands.
