Of course it's inevitable. The only question is how extensive it will be. One of the problems with this virus is that it doesn't cause a full-blown clinical syndrome until you've been out and about - and able to transmit it.

I am thinking just stay away from high populations. Go the country.

I’m buying real estate with the cheapest money in the last 100 years.

How stupid is that?

Because its simply not true. Influenza’s mortality rate is significantly lower that that of Covid19.

Do you believe your question is somehow relevant?

God is in control. The virus can disappear into thin air if He so chooses. Or become something less fatal. So whatever happens, I pray He orchestrates what is best. I pray His mercy over every life in the path of the virus (especially my loved ones in Asia right now!) And His jurisdiction over every human government thinking themselves to be wiser than He is.

(I am praying for the ultimate downfall of China’s regime in particular and whatever corruptions in the WHO and elsewhere to come into light and dispelled.)

Health officials in the United States warned Tuesday that the spread of the novel coronavirus in the country appears inevitable,

Then maybe they lose their fat, high paying jobs if it's already inevitable. If it's already inevitable, what's their purpose?

...And I’m astounded at the ignorance of so many Freepers who believe a disease outbreak is a leftist plot to bring down a POTUS.

No one believes that. But the media can figure out a way to pin any and all repercussions of it on President Trump if at all possible. Remember Hurricane Katrina?

....

Oh really?

The death toll from COVID 19...2,711

The death toll from the Flu (US):

“At least 14,000 people have died and 250,000 have already been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 26 million Americans have fallen ill with flu-like symptoms.”

You have no clue what you’re talking about!

So, you compare the entire year of a virus to another virus that has been in the country 4 weeks.

That sounds like Hillary counting.

But continue if that makes you feel better.

No. There are a lot of people who think that.

Some of the FR are so old they remind me of my mom when she said that the Chairman of the Republican Party “needed” her input.

It was a fundraising letter.

90% of these folks are just repeating what some media person told them. Yet, they don’t trust the media. Kind of crazy.

I am now waiting for something like the following...

Trump Planned COVID-19 for 2020 Election!

Since large metropolitan cities, which are Democratic strongholds, are most vulnerable to infectious diseases, President Trump secretly sent agents from the NRA, to begin the outbreak in China.

I would not be surprised if the DNC puppets in the 'Fake News' media would put this out.

Do you understand what a mortality rate is? Apparently not. You also apparently don't know the difference between an annual rate and ongoing, current rate.

You're just here to try and tell folks it's all hype and bogus. IF that is the case, prove it. Fly to Wuhan and be bold.

Average deaths due to lightening strikes in the US per year 51

Deaths due to Coronavirus in the US - ZERO

so... you people running around in a total panic have a 50 times greater chance of being killed by lightening!

ROFL
