It's not a matter of if the novel coronavirus will spread throughout the United States, but when, said Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine expert Nancy Messonnier.
"Disruption to everyday life might be severe," Messonnier, who is the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters Tuesday.
Messonnier said she told her children over breakfast that they will need to begin preparing for an escalated outbreak. Parents and caregivers, she said, should ask officials at their children's schools about plans for school dismissals, closures, and teleschool in case the virus spreads in their school districts.
"I contacted my local school superintendent this morning with exactly those questions," Messonnier said. "All of these questions can help you be better prepared for what might happen."

30 cases in a country of 350 million?
Wait.... you forgot bullets :)
If you want a real idea of what is likely watch those countries outside of China. Italy for example, is not doing so well and that is just in the last 4 days. Iran is in horrible shape and lying...their own politicians are reporting much greater numbers of deaths than the 15 admitted too. There is a point where countries make decisions on telling the truth or keeping the population calm. In many countries that decisions has been made to keep panic down.
Did he (Rush) say any more, about CV, today?
Good to know that you were still able to order 90 days of Rx meds.
We told family to, several weeks ago.
Stocked up on all OTC/supplements at that time, too.
They do not want to do this because it will show huge numbers of families exactly what the benefits are to schooling at home. They won't do it because they do not want parents seeing exactly what is being taught their kids.
Around here all the “snow days” are e-learning.
All the kids have tablets.
Not sure about other states.
Did you see the video of the little Iranian girls with this? Some of the crap I have seen in the last 2 weeks is not the normal flu.
Yes, older people really have to take more precautions and limit exposure
Get Zicam, anti-diarrheal, electrolyte drinks, cough/cold meds, C & D, too.
We’ll see. I placed the order yesterday and got back a “Your order is being processed” message. I’ll be happy when they arrive.
I’m toast.
But look at the improvement in the Soc Sec and Medicare budget shortfalls.
My doctor made an exception for me without question a few days ago. Normally, there's no way that she'd make prescriptions overlap.
Excellent advice.
You’re never going to convince the “Never-Coronavirus” folks this is serious, don’t waste your time on it ...
Hello, yes Rush did speak about Corona Virus 19 today.
He still is if the opinion it is being hyped.
He recalled the Ebola scare and joked that O’Bummer merely appointed an Ebola Czar ( which did zero good but made it appear to the Sheeple that he did).
I ordered a 90 day heart Rx, for my older dog.
I got that same message, for several days. I finally received a shipping confirmation, yesterday.
It’s NEVER taken that long to get the shipping notice, before.
I pray you get your shipping confirmation, and meds, soon. I don’t think you’ll have a problem, since the order went through.
Our family also had the talk
Kids are in 20’s but still home
Doing major housecleaning organizing and stocking
Kids are on VitD3 supplement
More discussions ahead
Ahhh, thanks. That explains all of the posts recommending POTUS appoint a CV Czar.
