@Mindful Two weeks ago they knew it would hit worldwide and the best common sense methods to protect oneself;the excessive hype caused the emptying of stores by preppers and the fearful and the depletion of masks that might well deprive their availability to medical personnel in hospitals
@bookerdana I follow virus outbreaks a lot... this out break is more serious in that the virus is highly contagious and thus so is the rate at which it spreads . We are very lucky that some full stops and serious containment efforts have been put in place in the US. (The hoarding is unecessary thanks to containment)
@Mindful All of which could be gleaned from CDC -WHO press conferences/website..have you read about the mas panic in the U.S. during the Hong Kong Flu outbreak which killed 100,0000...there was none. "Fear is the mind killer"
Have you read about the current lockdown in Wuhan where the buildings are locked up and trenches have been dug into the roads, nets placed along the rivers to keep the citizens from traveling out of the area? @bookerdana
