We will know exactly how much we should worry in 10 to 14 days. Yeah - after millions of Americans gather together watching the Super Bowl. This could be the perfect storm of a pandemic - hope not, but the next ten days will tell ...

Here is another one of his quotes: “The world is a place that is so interconnected that what happens in another part of the world will impact us.”

...Its a very, very low risk to the United States, Fauci said during an interview with radio show host John Catsimatidis
It is FAR to early to make that call Mr. Fauci. I hope you are right.

Yes. And viruses don’t discriminate when it comes to political class nor do they recognize borders.
Truly alarming that they aren’t treating this more seriously.

Exactly. When our Government says “don’t worry” that’s the equivalent of them knocking on your door and saying “Hi, I’m from the Government and I’m here to help you.”

And what if the Government required all US citizens to be inoculated with a new vaccination. That too, would be pretty scary.

the American public shouldn’t worry about the coronavirus outbreak in China
—
This is a stupid thing to say (and just adds to the people’s mistrust of our government.
He could have said, “It is still early in the outbreak and we do not have enough information to make an informed decision at this time. We will monitor the situation and alert the public if things change. For now, as long as you have not had contact with someone from China you should be ok”
The thing that concerns me is air travel and the fact that someone could be contagious but not show any symptoms.
It is reported that the incubation period is 14 days. So one sick person could infect and entire plane and those people could go on and infect many more and no one would know for at least 14 days.
That is how a pandemic is spread.
Let us see what the situation is in 14 days before telling us we have nothing to worry about.

If the government handles this like it did Ebola, we are screwed.

The media has been whipping-up a lot of fear about this. Whose agenda is being served? What regulations are we going to need to deal with this so-called crisis?

I'm betting mostly on vitamin D. A study in Norway showed that flu and pneumonia deaths decreased dramatically during the summer, when serum levels of vitamin D were around 80 nmol/l. During the winter, when serum levels of vitamin D dropped to around 50, deaths from those diseases increased markedly. Some studies on NIH (add NIH to the end of your search string) show no benefit from vitamin D supplementation, but the serum levels were in the 60-65 range:

On the other hand, Linus Pauling said vitamin C was the answer, so I take both.
