Oh, but the epidemiologists of FR say this is nothing to worry about, no big deal, overblown.

Going to be in the DC area this weekend with Saturday pretty much free. Thought maybe I’d do some touristy stuff. Thought better of it.

So, a person that travelled from China, not knowing about the disease, infected their spouse. That is to be expected.

Oh noes - the flu is transferable to someone you sleep with! Probably got it through the eyes! This has never happened before!

Aieeeeeee!

This doesn’t sound terrible. If it takes that much contact, then we are pretty safe.

I’m more worried about the availability of testing. And the possibility that it’s spreading and we don’t know it yet.

But I would think unexplained cases of pneumonia would be popping up soon if not already. I assume that pneumonia cases would be automatically tested for flu. And if they have the flu, no reason to suspect Coronavirus.

if you’re swapping spit with your infected wife, yeah, you’re gonna get sick - like any other disease So the headline is a bit misleading.

Authorities are not recommending people take precautions like canceling activities or not going out.

I just bought my wife bottles of Vitamin C and Zinc.

I've been taking megadoses of vitamins and minerals for decades. I'm one of those picky eaters you may have heard about with a vast list of vegetables that do not exist in my reality.

I credit daily Lecithin capsules for my lack of heart problems compared to all of my relatives and my cardiologist agreed that it possibly helped. My cardiologist gave me a clean bill of health and told me to come back if I ever had a symptom.
