a lot of these posting repeating my main stream media are alarmist and good for their ratings but full of misinformation. The contamination rate for this virus, 2019-nCoV is much lower than most diseases even measles. see https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/02/02/coronavirus-here-are-10-misconceptions-being-spread/#187f88da2840

The,measure of infection an estimated R0 of 2.5 (infect 2 to 3 people) would fall well below the R0‘s for measles and pertussis, which tend to be between 12 and 18. These aren’t the only diseases that seem to be more contagious than 2019-nCoV. Nevertheless, an estimated R0 of 2.5 would fall well below the R0‘s for measles and pertussis, which tend to be between 12 and 18. These aren’t the only diseases that seem to be more contagious than 2019-nCoV.

so yes alarmist don’t want to report this nor that most cases are like a mild cold.

The issue with the virus is the complete supply chain breakdown from China.

Even if a single person in the US never dies from this virus.

Our economy will feel the effects of the China shutdown for months.

Blame the globalists.

Who thought making China a single point of failure for our economy was a great idea.

But don’t blame the markets for reacting to this.

If this is ‘the common cold’, why has China axed her economy for this? And South Korea, and now Italy.
