Read the article - little politics, just hard science.

I know it seems so far away, but it sure looks like we should be following Italy's lead and locking the country down.

A government-mandated and implemented quarantine? Not just no, but hell no.

In Acworth the case that popped up at the daycare is just down the road from me. A lady who works with the infected woman is my helper's neighbor. Yesterday my helper got home from work and looked outside to see the woman's kids playing with all the other kids and afterwards he saw this woman went up at the Chevron by the house. She works side by side with this woman that has CV. She should be in self-quarantine at very least. This is how this crap spreads. I'm not in favor of government travel restrictions by any means but at the same time these people who have been exposed don't give a damn about anybody else. There is no easy or right answer about this. Stay safe and wash your hands.

Over 20,000 of our citizens have died in 2020 of the flu. There's no panic over that. This thing will pass just like PIG flu, SARS etc.

If this only killed children and young adults , the response would be entirely different.

Geezers are expendable, no need to quarantine, it is only the flu.

Exactly. if everyone would self quarantine and use their own common sense we wouldn’t need the government to compel us into doing so. But since people are selfish assholes by nature, we all know what is eventually coming.

so it’s OK if something comes along and simply adds to the death count because there’s already people dying anyhow?

People really need to stop parroting this nonsense.

It appears that someone has a bad case of the Internal Fixation Disease.

Would you just panic along with everyone else?
This is NOT the time for facts over emotion!
