I’m just wondering who benefits by stoking the hysteria.

If they can crater the economy, the Dems deprive Trump of his most potent talking point, and the source his strength with the voters.

Making people aware of what is going on, isn't stroking the hysteria. If you get hysterics from news that's you're problem, not the person who shares news.

Potentially every one benefits if protective action is taken.

• People in Wuhan were able to take protective action when the doctor sounded the alarm. The criticism isn't that the doctor sounded the alarm, but that it should have been sounded earlier.
• Countries around the world benefited by putting travel restrictions and quarantines in place. That's help stop a lot of the spread. Some countries that didn't quarantine, like Italy, have admitted that was a major mistake.
• Examining our medical supply stockpile and taking action now to fire up domestic production of supplies will benefit all.
• No alarms mean no vaccine research. Fortunately, we've got several companies trying to come up with a viable vaccine. And we've got several trials of anti-viral medicines going on.

Who benefits by downplaying this and pretending that it's not a problem at all?

I find it enormously interesting that Rod Rosenstein’s sister at the CDC is issuing panic inducing statements. Totally uncalled for, yet perhaps not without reason.

Bernie Sanders...for one.

There are an increasing number of people who are frightened by the hysteria. People do crazy things when they are hysterical, like vote for a socialist who promises to have the federal gov't take over our healthcare system.
