Beijing, China, shuttered in-person classes for all schools on Tuesday, bracing for a new wave of the coronavirus. The closure goes into effect Wednesday.

The capital hub of 20 million people had gone more than 50 consecutive days without a new recorded case of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus. But last weekend, city officials reported a cluster of 87 new cases, the Financial Times reported, 46 of which were asymptomatic. That cluster emerged in Xinfadi, the largest produce and seafood market in the city.

Xinfadi was closed over the weekend, as were several residential buildings on the west side of Beijing. More than 100 people have gone into a 14-day quarantine.

0.5% infection fatality rate is no joke. That’s a lot of dead Americans. My point has ALWAYS been that shutting down the entire economy was totally unnecessary. Finding a way to quarantine the infected was all that was required.

Your point seems to be let's be frightened and shelter in place for as long as it takes.

Life goes on WITH or WITHOUT you or me. Deaths in the USA ...

7,671 Deaths - Every Single Day

That's 2,799,915 EVERY YEAR.

Deaths Daily caused by:

Heart Attack - 1,774
Cancer - 1,6414
Accident (all kinds) - 4664
Asthma, etc. - 4394
Stroke - 4014
Alzheimers - 3334
Diabetes - 2294
Flu/Pneumonia - 1534
Kidney Failure - 1394
Suicide - 1294

We DO NOT SHUTDOWN the ECONOMY for ANY or ALL of the previous diseases or causes and they claim nearly 3-MILLION souls a year.

"Welcome my friends to the show that never ends" - Life goes on without missing a beat, no matter what.

I'll take my chances living and enjoying life normally because I TRUST in God and in my IMMUNE SYSTEM.

Do whatever you think is best for youself

said,"Well they did not send infected ppl from Wuhan to Bejing or any other part of China, just to the rest of the world"

What you're suggesting is an actual quarantine of Wuhan a city larger the New york city actually worked.

That reminds me of Get Smart "would you believe quarantine of an apartment building all breathing the same air?"
No? "how about a quarantine of Chen Qiushi?" (head rolls back and fourth.. as saying, "what would you believe?")

Who in the world said anything about shutting anything down or sheltering in place? Strawman all the way here. Fake news. I never have and never will be in favor of a lockdown and neither will our President.

And yes, people do die every day. Probably a good idea to work toward preventing preventable deaths. That’s why our President is pushing so hard for a vaccine: to save American lives.

And just because I trust my hearing doesn’t mean I close my eyes while I’m driving. God gave us brains so we can preserve human life. Because human life is precious and worth preserving. So we should take REASONABLE precautions to save lives (not shutting down the economy) while working on new treatments and seeking a vaccine, NOT stick our heads in the sand and pretend there’s nothing we can do about diseases.

They never finished with the first one.................
*******
They sealed off Wuhan from the rest of China, yet let people fly from the Wuhan area across the glode, knowing what they were carrying to the West. They worked with the WHO to lie and deceive those they view as their targets or the pandemic.

Now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Didn't I politely say?... "Do whatever you think is best for yourself."

Instead you CONTINUE to LECTURE me like I'm your employee or your child.
 
I'll let the EXPERTS find a cure while I LIVE my LIFE. What I don't need is someone being sanctimonious toward me because he decides to
 
I'll say it again... "Do whatever you think is best for yourself." I'll do the same!
 
End of conversation.

” He’s pushing hard for a vaccine because he knows that’s how we end this whole thing and get back to normal.”

There has never been, nor will there ever be a vaccine for any kind of corona virus, according to my knowledge.

It is not an influenza virus. It’s more like a severe cold, which many can die from.

SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus, like Poliovirus, Hepatitus A, and Rubella. Some viruses of that type have vaccines (like the ones I listed) and some do not.

There are over 135 candidates for a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in trials right now. President Trump is pushing hard to find one that’s safe and effective. It’s not guaranteed by any means, but it’s also not impossible. I don’t believe President Trump is throwing money away on this. I believe he’s putting our tax dollars to good use in an attempt to find something that will save hundreds of thousands of American lives. And I for one completely support him in that effort.
