So knowing that the 2 patients have pneumonia like issues and they were in contact with someone who has recently been to China they should be tested immediately, I hope the hospital is testing them for it..... if they have it and they admit them to the hospital and do not isolate them it would be potentially very bad.

Did they ever test the person who had been to China to see if they had it? I mean they could have it and been asymptomatic seems like theyu should be testing these people.

As of right that I know of no tests are being done.

Because people are people man. You can't find hand sanitizer anywhere, already. No masks either. Already reports of stores running out of stock on some things. Coworker said the other day she went to Costco and lots of items were out. I'm sure those will be replaced for now. But you've been around long enough. You know how people do.

And about the healthcare system...you ought to take a look at how many hospital and ICU beds there are. Not many. This virus is much more highly contagious than the flu. There is a real potential for rapid community spread once it takes hold. We're doing nothing to prevent that. If you get a large influx of people who need to be treated at the hospital, you will have a problem really quickly. Look at what's going on in Italy now. That's happened in a span of just a few weeks.

Am I wrong?

One of my sisters requires hospitalization about once a year (Long story). 2 weeks ago she was admitted. She lives in a county that neighbors St Louis County. They have two VERY large hospitals. The doctors needed to place her in ICU but no beds were available at either of the two. They had to ground transport her to St Louis where some ICU beds were available. Shes out now Praise the Lord.

I agree about the shortage of beds even in a non emergency time frame.

A good 13 minute video from a good doctor to listen too.

He's not quite on the same page as the WHO. But definitely does a good job keeping the hype down.

Like he should, I’d listen to someone who has 48 years experience dealing with these viruses.

The WHO said today the CFR is 3.4. This guy said it's about the same as the flu, which is about .1%. Check out Dr. John Campbell if you get a chance.

I guess it all depends on who you believe in. Both are knowledgeable doctors with 2 different views.

I get that as it relates to opinions around reactions and responses and predictions of where things are likely to go. But the numbers are the numbers. 3.4% ain't 0.1%, for example. And that's not a matter of experience. I'm no fan of the WHO, but I don't see how two sets of easily measurable data can be that far off.
