“Local health officials told us not to panic buy and not to freak out,"

That's like telling someone not to think about pink elephants.

This will be Spain’s “Diamond Princess”

New coronavirus case confirmed at Tenerife hotel on lockdown

TENERIFE (Reuters) - An Italian national staying at a hotel in Tenerife which has been placed on lockdown after four cases of the coronavirus were detected has tested positive for the virus, regional health authorities confirmed on Saturday

Comment: I believe that the closer quarters you are with groups other people, the more severe illness you will get. I expect the Diamond Princess CFR will end up being very high.

Is that generally the case with any disease? If you get just barely infected you get just barely sick?

South Korea
Feb 28

Feb. 28 (UPI) — “ South Korean President Moon Jae-in may be concerned about Chinese retaliation if Seoul goes ahead with a decision to ban most foreign nationals traveling from China in response to the coronavirus outbreak, according to a local press report.

“Yonhap reported Friday the South Korean leader told representatives of opposition and ruling parties South Korea relies on China for pharmaceuticals. Any move toward health-related travel bans could provoke China, Moon said.

Maybe, I honestly don’t know that much about how viruses work. I know there is such a think as a viral load, but our immunity determines how we’ll we fight things off. I hope that’s the case here.

I just don’t remember seeing so many you doctors and nurses get sick like they are right now and not just China

We’ll probably see a lot of these kind of announcements. The elites are hunkering down.

[PennState] University Bans All Travel To China, South Korea & Cancels Course Trips To Italy, Japan Due To Coronavirus

All university-affiliated travel to China and South Korea is prohibited for students, while short-term, faculty-led programs in Italy and Japan, which may include trips over spring break, have been canceled due to “logistical disruptions and limited travel availability.” University-affiliated travel to China and South Korea for faculty and staff is “strongly discouraged” and would require Provost/University Risk Officer approval.
Penn State also canceled an embedded course in Vietnam due to flights that would take students through South Korea.
Students studying abroad for the semester in Italy and Japan can still stay there for the time being, per recommendations from global health agencies.
