Coronavirus (COVID-19) is now a pandemic. I explain why in this video.

COVID-19, which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a PANDEMIC. It might not be an official declaration by the WHO, but, there is no question, that this is a pandemic.

The WHO already has a credibility problem with a lot of people, and that’s only going to get worse the longer they delay calling COVID-19 a pandemic.

This reason this is a pandemic is that the endemic is now spreading in different continents.

Specifically, there is sustained transmission from person to person in people who have not recently been to China or have not been exposed to someone who was recently in China. Of course, we know about the 80,000 or so cases in Asia, with China, South Korea, and even Iran still being part of Asia, but the big news is the number of cases in Italy, and in the US as well....

I do not understand what the big deal about whether it is a pandemic or not. Will it change how we address it? Is there new government powers available to President Trump if it is a pandemic? What changes by the label?

Low class. Bush league.

Ibtz??

[Reno89519]

I don’t see this as panic, just common sense. Avoid travel AND quarantine all foreign arrivals. If not and someone dies, who’s to blame. Here in US, Trump will get the blame for not protecting Americans. This isn’t panic, it is reality.

Thanks mods for pulling out of breaking.

All countries KNOW that this will overwhelm their health care systems. 20% of those who get it require hospitalization. There are 924,107 hospital beds in the usa (https://www.aha.org/statistics/fast-facts-us-hospitals). A typical flu bug infects 60 million in the usa. If THIS infects only half this amount that would mean that 6 million people would need to be at a hospital. That's not counting EVERY other problem that people go to hospitals for.

That's why China is building emergency hospitals at such a clip. It's why EVERYONE is trying to stop it. Countries will go broke on health care.

Part of the Democrat strategy of creating enough fear to wreck the economy, and then blaming it on Trump for failure to waste enough money on their crisis.
