    In other words this story hasn't entered your media bubble yet so you won't worry about it. You remind me a bit of an Iranian who prefers to get his news only from regime-approved sources, and who criticizes anyone who goes outside official channels to try to figure out what is going on.

      Okay.. You go ahead and worry all you want about it. As much as you want. Then tell me what you accomplished by worrying about it...

      Ridiculous to worry..Only 200 cases of coronavirus in this country of 330 million people and because of the deep state run MSM and liberal news, people are panicking! At least 3300 people get diagnosed with cancer DAILY in this country! Don't be an easily manipulated and controlled sheeple!

      Yes there is a concern.. but you know the threat will eventually be over come in short order...Many countries working on doing it....

        "Worry" as in spend any attention on it, not bite one's nails in anxiety.

        The point being that any link that isn't from an approved web site you ignore entirely, regardless of topic. The inference is that the slant given the story is as important or more important than the underlying facts.

        To me the most interesting web site on Coronavirus is the one that free1954 posted. On it there is a graph of new cases outside China, which can be plotted on a logarithmic scale on the "# of cases" axis. That line is currently flat for China but is going up in a straight line everywhere else in the world, meaning exponential growth. Being reasonably good at math, I can project forward 6-8 weeks assuming that curve doesn't flatten out. And so far, it isn't flattening out like the cases in China.

        Worried? No. Thinking about how to be prepared if those trend lines don't change? Yes. Interested in how the government is responding? You bet. Trapped in a Pro-Trump media bubble? Hell naw!

          Ok I do understand that there is a reason for your concern...But what can YOU do about it but be prepared as well as can personally be...And no, I am not just Trapped in a Pro-Trump media bubble, just being realistic..and not being a sky is falling person like some... And hoping that the government can eliminate the threat as much and as fast as possible....

            Cancer and the CV19 virus have, IMHO, only one thing in common and that is unless treated the disease will kill you. My cancer treatments medical was planned for me by many great physicians and it worked. With this CV19 disease there are too many unknown variables at this time. I take what comes out of China with a grain of salt and discount the information as basically unreliable as unchecked.
            My treatment to prevent the CV19 is what I did with cancer, wear gloves and stay hydrated. We are not buying anything in panic mode that we do not have a use for. WalMart clearance out several large bags of rice that our daughter bought for a mere pittance. Our dogs love chicken and rice so I fix that for them for their dinner. The only downsize is that I am in need of replacement filters for my water purifier….none available! Our water is not the best flavored, so I got one to attach to the facet while I wait for 4 new filters to be delivered who knows when.
            This is what we are doing during the emergency as we hope for the best and prepare for the worst as we can. One thing we are not doing is panicking as some people are doing.

              Apparently CV19 virus is not that fatal -- the percentage seems to be in the low single digits. But I agree, we know little about it so far.
