We need to test people and try to isolate this as much as possible, unlike the flu there is no vaccine and we need to limit exposure as much as possible till one can be developed, we need to hope this virus reacts to warm weather like most do and that coupled with isolating as many positive cases as we can keep this from being to widespread, if this spreads rapidly and we just let it run its course thousands of people may die needlessly.....the US response so far has been very disappointing....

Trump/Pence......anyone that wants a test can get a test.....
Reality....https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/editorials/article240968541.html

That isn’t the case, so “the vice president’s announcement that anybody can go and get tested wasn’t very helpful,” Dr. Rex Archer, who heads Kansas City’s health department, said in an interview. “We had multiple emergency rooms contact us about it, to get the message out that there weren’t tests.”

Woah.
If it couldn’t get worse for them
This is more pretty clear evidence that the R0 is substantiall higher than the flu.

New York City will be the place to watch..I would expect an outcome similar to Seattle. Might be time to close some schools for a couple weeks.
