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."

B is the mild one. A is hardcore.
Corona seems to be much more contagious, has longer incubation and is contagious for that time, stays alive outside the body 1-2 weeks (as opposed to cold and regular flu @ seconds to 9 hours....maybe 48 hours), AND has a mortality rate MUCH larger than regular flu. Relapses may be fatal in a majority of cases.
Kill coronavirus or use as a cocktail. Versatile!
You could jack it too.
Not that I would ever jack liquor...
“Judging from posting history of some of the chronic naysayers, sadly, it seems they have made it their life mission to dismiss any other Freepers’concerns about Corona Virus.”
Everybody’s gotta have a cause, I suppose :)
Will Jack and Coke work...?
Sorry...I’m naive...what does “jack” mean?
Not so sure about that. Hospitals will be the ones making the money.
Jack Daniels..
Realize some of them might be heavily leveraged in the market. Or just want to finish their OWN preps before everyone else gets there first. ALSO some are program posters that aren’t even in this country. YMMV of course
Sort of like if a person says stock market is going up, and it doesn’t and they don’t want to admit it...
Normalcy bias?
And yes...as I privately wrote to a poster...they have not done their preps...don’t want to face facts?
Anyway, I appreciate all the posting on the subject — people can take the information or leave it, but don’t dis it.
BTW, I watch Fox Business and all they talked about was the fact that it is coming here...not if, but when...and those of us following it know it is here already....
“...and have a WONDERFUL DAY kids!”
If the virus doesn’t destroy our lives, not to worry, the climate will in less than 10 years! Don’t forget your LGBTQYX homework. Have a great day!
Is it the same scientists with the clain that the hymalayas will melt by 2020.. tick tock.
This is all intended to crash the economy and stop the Hong Kong protests.
Change my mind.

Look up ‘how to increase alcohol content of wine by freezing’.
Or something similar ;)
“I just ordered a 90 day supply of my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. That’s my main concern given what I read about China supplying lots of our meds and precursor chemicals to manufacture meds in the US.”
Yup. Whole family is 90 days ahead on meds as of today.
Don’t think this is end of the world. But we’re prepared to spend 60 days without leaving our home along with possible power outages.
Good to hear.
Walmart, Safewway Raley’s and Nob Hill have free pick up and delivery for $5.
After pickup/delivery:
This is where your face mask will work, put mask and goggles on and your good rubber gloves.
Alcohol/Clorox spray the outsides of the non perishables, and leave the non perishables in direct sunshine for about and hour.
Alcohol/Clorox spray the perishables in their plastic bags and leave in sunlight for about 30 minutes/side, wipe off bags put into a freezer for about a half hour to kill any virus/germs on the plastic bag. If possible cook as suggested below.
Wrapped meats, fish and poultry leave in sunlight 15 minutes per side then wipe with a Clorox wipe and put into freezer with the wrap in tack. When ready to cook, remove from freezer and wipe outside package with a Clorox wipe leave in sunlight (30 minutes per side). Remove from wrapper with surgical gloves on and prepare to cook and serve.
If you still have a working gas or electric oven, use cookie sheet pans. Put parchment paper on the inside of the cookie sheet, place your fish/meat/whatever on the parchment paper and the veggies around the fish/meat/whatever, spray with olive oil and season with salt/pepper. Place in 425-450 degree oven and cook for 25-45 minutes until done and browned.
Use tongs /spatula to put on paper plates. Serve hot/warm.
If done right, just throw away parchment paper.
Or cook on a charcoal cooker outside (no parchment Paper) just put everything on the hot grill-cook and kill any virus.
Thanks, Grampa Dave!
“billions of unpaid bills “
Seriously? We were talking realistically about older people. The ones that are on Medicare. Not about an apocalytpic epidemic. In your scenario, the world might end.
It could close numerous hospitals .
