I have a “wait and see” attitude about this.
How many on the Japanese cruise ship died? How many of the 14 infected Americans brought back have died? My understanding is that none of them have died. We’ll see.

The last I heard there were 4 deaths of the infected passengers. None of the dead were Americans.
Please consider this FACT:
The US CDC has completed 426 tests as of yesterday, of which there were 56 positive results. Only 426 tests so far. That’s a high percentage of positive results, but most are from the death ship.
Here in Washington there are approximately 1000 people on home quarantine, over 8,000 in California. Those people have not been officially tested.
Personally, I’ve started stockpiling things I already use every day like medicines and toiletries, some food. Oh, and ammo. These are things I tend to use almost daily (yeah the ammo too), so if it turns out to be a nothing burger no loss. I stay away from people and crowds, wash my hands very frequently, don’t touch public surfaces without washing after.
Simple things. I don’t want to pass this - or the flu - on to my loved ones.
I want this to be nothing but hype. But I’m not willing to sacrifice my loved ones in this hope.
“How many on the Japanese cruise ship died?”
At least 3, so somewhere around 0.5% or so of the confirmed cases. But most of the cases remain unresolved at this point, I believe.
