I have wondered as well about the reported cases at the school in Queens. The information seems to be in conflict; we are told that there are 8 "suspected" cases, yet news reports on FOX this AM said that there were "over 200" kids complaining of symptoms at school late last week.

The good news so far is that none of those cases seem to be life threatening.

The bad news is that with all of this going on, people are likely to start panic runs on food, fuel, etc. The hype could outrun the severity of the disease.

I just saw this:

Spain's Health Ministry said three people who just returned from Mexico were under observation in hospitals in the northern Basque region, in southeastern Albacete and the Mediterranean port city of Valencia.

Well, if you only do bloodwork on 8, then you can only confirm 8. There could be 500 cases for all we know. Sounds like they took a lesson from Indonesia’s health department.
