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."

K-12 schools are petri dishes anyway...
On these threads? Haha.
Ya.
I’m so sure SHE didn’t start prepping HER antiviral supply WEEKS ago.
To heck with all the rest of us.
THEIR mortality and morbidity had BETTER match the REST of the population when this is done.
IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT...
(wait, I do have a slight cough...maybe it’s Corona...wait never mind...)
...AND I FEEL FINE.
Beans, rice, bottled water, and toilet paper
#1. When you knowingly have faulty testing kits
#2.When there is no known vaccine in the pipeline
#3.When you know that some carriers of the infectious disease are 'asymptomatic'
#4.When you learn that some people without symptoms shed viral particulate two days BEFORE developing the disease
#5.When you allow international travel without confirmation of locations traveled
#6.When you have passengers from a ship known to have coronavirus returned to the US without executive (President's) knowledge
#7.When you have WHO (World Health Organization) run by a politician, rather than a physician
#8.When you have WHO refusing to declare a world-wide pandemic, despite confirmed reports internationally
#9.When you realize that you don't own your own production of safety equipment or medications to combat the illness
Then you might have a crisis in the making !
Actually - I think (again - not sure) that she is saying all of this because she got outed late last week. A private conversation of her's was supposedly leaked between her and a friend of her's named "Frank" where she admitted to him that there were already 1000 cases in the US in 32 states but that they were "keeping it quiet for now and reporting far less to the public." She also tells him to go nowhere without a mask - and that - basically - we have to ensure safety measure quickly or it's gonna get out of hand.
I've got the screencaps of it on my phone, complete with the screencaps of the people who tried to ask her on Twitter that she blocked right after that. So - this could be her doing damage control and it may make sense why there was an emergency meeting requesting funds. Take it with a grain of salt.
I’ll answer the question...THE CZAR DID NOTHING!
Wow. Just Wow.
How to prepare? Best is likely same for any emergency—enough foods and all to be able to stay home or pass by empty stores for weeks or even months. Speaking for our family, our pantry is too limited at the moment.
I know - it was kinda tongue-in-cheek.
MSM and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) want a huge epidemic here so they can call it Trump’s Katrina.
The overriding goal is always to get rid of Trump. Whether thousands or more die in the process is worth it.
Re: retired...we order more for delivery...but, I’m not panicking...I just think it’s prudent...Altho I did quit going to my Pilates class, where we use mats others use (under ours) and consort with world travelers/Asians in a closed space. I am just trying to avoid ANY kind of flu.
“So exactly how does one prepare? Stock up on Lysol, vitamins?”
Ethanol alcohol in a high concentration will kill the virus. Think Everclear, in the liquor store. Sprayed on surfaces, it makes a great virus killer.
Thanks. It’s not as if any of it will go to waste. :)
Does Vodka work?...I confiscated a bunch from my MIL’s house when she went to Assisted Living...
The point I took away was that any information she provides is suspect. Especially when the supposed information is devoid of facts and practicalities but loaded with political and economic import.
Bad blood runs in families.
You’re welcome. I’ve done the same, with the same rationale - it’ll all get consumed..or given away :)
:)
Ahh...there is the conspiracy.
It doesnt matter that she is correct. People should be planning and thinking.
But...Rush has spoken. I think hes traded his soul for a medal. The crap he is spouting would make Baghdad bob proud.
