I, personally, do not believe this is a bigger issue than the flu. I've said it from day 1 and i still believe it's not a big deal.

With a few exceptions Biz.. Elderly and pre-existing health issue I think are higher risk than with normal Flu. I hope not, but its sounding and looking like it.

Paranoia, that's all it really is and the media sensationalizing it all since it is generating BIG revenue for them.  It's truly unbelievable where this has been taken.

Co-worker just came back from Venice on Saturday, just before the lock down.  Said no F's given by the people there.  People splashing water on their face and goggling the water without washing their hands with soap in the bathrooms, etc.

Being in a hospitality/events industry, Coumo's restrictions of large gatherings is hurting business.  I just took a pay cut for the next 3 months as a result.

that f'n moron also said to "take the next train, if the one you're about to get on is full". Shows again how out of touch with reality he is.

You may want to re-read that. He is not saying most wont get it.  

A new medicine needs to go through a very thorough process to get FDA approval.  The process is not over night and also not always successful.   Its a very very tedious process and monitored heavily by FDA. I fear that any vaccine that comes out quickly will not have gone through the normal FDA process and COULD cause issues.

my brother is a clinical pharmacist. Yes, elderly and people with pre-existing conditions are most at risk of dying. the average healthy human will NOT show symptoms. therefore, there could be millions with COVID-19 right now and we have no idea.

Exactly, so there is no other way to prevent the spread from overwhelming the healthcare system without otherwise healthy people understanding the need for social distancing..you are doubling the flu which already taxes the system

The hand sanatizer was a good idea I don’t care what anyone says.  It was being price gouged now it’s free for NY institutions, name another proactive thing that’s been done since China locked Wuhan down with 216 case and 13 deaths

Does China quarantine  over the flu ? Does itAly quarantine  over the flu ? No so I think there is something  more to this then  just another flu

to stop it since it is something new with no vaccine. But it will not end up being deadlier than the flu in the USA
