China is overrun with people by a billion and change yet everybody is losing their minds over 5,000 being infected and a few hundred dead? You're all such sheep!

If becomes an epidemic here how many of you guys are headed for the hills to live like hermits till its over?

I don’t think it’s being sheep to pay attention to something that affects many people’s pocket book

Yep..Just heard the export lobster market just crashed..What's next...

Let me guess....maybe coyotes! Sure hope not! lol

In China, massive numbers of people (4 times the population of the US), living in an area roughly the size of the 48 states, give this corona virus a lot of targets to infect. To give more perspective, China has more than 100 cities of 1 million people or more. Wuhan, the city where this originated, has 11 million people. That’s more than the population of Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, combined. A friend from Wuhan told me last night that by the time the central government locked down the city, a couple million people had already left the city, traveling to see family as part of the annual Spring Festival ‘migration’. If 2 million people got out and just 1/10 of a percent were infected, that’s 2,000 carriers moving around the country. And world.

Thanks for the market update, Bryce. I wasn't expecting to see it on this thread, but I do appreciate it.

Tonight, I called one of the doctors I trust best in the world, my younger brothers, Kevin. He is site administrator for one hospital, chief medical officer for 2 more hospitals and on the board for 2 more hospitals. One of the hospitals in his company, whose administrator was in residency with my brother, treated the first case of the new coronavirus in the US. It's about 125 miles from Kevin's hospitals. He thinks there is no need to worry about the new coronavirus. He did say things could develop, but that it was unlikely to be as bad here as the flu.

The scariness is worse when you or your loved one is in that.0000625%.

Absolutely right

Pretty sure the young and old might die like sheep if this takes off how old are you? Did the past outbreaks not find it’s way around the last several times in the past in the US? Bold statement with little thought.

A pandemic scare can and is starting to having huge effects on the world economy......

i've been afraid to look this mornin after yesterday.

I read that link that Marty posted. That is scary......if it is true! The problem is, it came from the internet....the information hyway that is false about half the time! The other side of the coin, how can you trust what the Chinese gov put out, they are liars from the get go. Guess we wait and see what the truth is!

Its one of those things that one can do little to nothing about. Most of us can't just quit work and stay home till this thing blows over. So carrying on with ones life and hoping for the best is all that most can do these days.
