Just think. Ten months till Christmas.
This is the continuation of the Thread.
It is more complicated then that. After you survive the virus. You are still able to become reinfected. So a weak immune person will get it again quickly. Even if they survive the initial infection. So what will become crucial, is delaying everytime you get infected as long as possible.
4.8% fatality rate.
Analysis of 50,404 patients
“According to Meta-analysis, among the clinical characteristics of patients with 2019-nCoV infection, 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%.”

What do you suggest I do to not get infected and if I do get infected what do you suggest I do not to get reinfected?
I have a client who was to leave in two weeks for a cruise around Italy. It was canceled today.
These numbers are older. Most of the cases and deaths have doubled since then
So if you go severe with this virus, you have a 75 % of living.
Coronavirus: Iran denies cover-up as six deaths reported in Italy
Tehran rejects claim death toll is more than four times higher than official figures suggest

S. Korea - 60 additional corona19 confirmed patients… Total 893 people

Also should assume death rate is 21 % of those who are quarantined at home without medical assistance. This assumes that severe hospital care is not even available at home, so severe patient’s will die there.
Minnesota experts: It’s time families plan for COVID-19 outbreak
So far, there are a few dozen confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, in the United States.
But Minnesota Department of Health infectious disease director Kris Ehresmann said it’s very likely there will be outbreaks of the virus here. And Michael Osterholm, an expert in infectious disease at the University of Minnesota, said people should assume the virus will hit hard.
Ehresmann said Monday that the state is well prepared to identify cases quickly and isolate them. But if cases are widespread, it’s likely that schools, churches and other public meeting spaces would be closed.
This guy might be a conspiracy theorist.

One thing that’s interesting to me is the dates on some of the articles he links to. Like this one from Feb 7th on the DOD setting up quarantine centers near Intl airports
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article240078853.html
Hadn’t heard about it but I’ve been out of the news loop for a while until a few days ago. Don’t remember them doing that for SARS, Ebola etc.
The guy might be nuts. Then again nothing good was ever going to come from all this genetics, cloning, biowarfare, DNA editing etc. Maybe the fatal screw up has occurred.
I’d think universities are gonna be a hot spot.
Lots of Chinese students in the US schools and people in close contact in dorms and classrooms.
Bahrain shut 3 schools after a man who had transported children to the institutions tested positive after returning from Iran on February 21 via Dubai airport, the health ministry said.

Also, from your link....
...Osterholm said there need to be plans for keeping basic infrastructure like electricity flowing and food supplies on store shelves if large numbers of people are sick. And families also need to have a plan.
“Families need to have plans for how they will stay in contact with each other,” he said. “Who’s going to take care of Grandma if she gets sick? For single parent families, who’s going to be there when the kids get sick or the or the mom or dad gets sick? That’s the kind of thing right now that is really important that we need to begin to address, and you know we haven’t.”
Ehresmann said there are some simple but important things everyone can do to reduce the spread of a virus: Stay home when you’re sick. Limit physical contact like handshakes.
And she said everyone should think about what they would need to care for sick family members at home.
“Just to make sure that you know you have some basic resources, in terms of foodstuffs and things like that,” she said. “So that if you would have family members get sick and you were unable to go out for a few days, do you have enough basic supplies to kind of keep going?”
Ehresmann and Osterholm both said no one should panic, but everyone should prepare....
The quarantine centers is true, one of them is Dobbins AFB in Atlanta if I recall.
We’re not the only ones having this problem:

Please don’t come Japan at the moment. To date, the government has announced around 700-800 infected people. But I guess the actual numbers are much larger.Because many people haven’t been able to get the test even though they have the symptom.
Follow all advice for avoiding a flu. Act as if you have a weak immune system. Boost it up whenever you start to feel sick or sneeze. Adopt the customs of the Chinese who have been living at ground zero for decades. Wear nitrile gloves when touching possibly infected things. Wear masks outside at all times. Etc. Etc. Clean yourself up. Stick alcohol swabs where they make you scream like a banshee. Oh wait. That is from a different subject. Our CDC/P should have been preaching prevention for two months now. Now after doing all that, you have to kick it up another notch if you want even more protection. Eye goggles. N98 or N99 masks etc. Etc. This thing is airborne and super tiny. The rich no doubt have giant positive pressure bubbles and full level 4 biohazard suits. Bit ye cannae wear they hings a’ day captain. (Scottish slang translated) lol.
