I think most of the world is gonna be flipping out by then tbh, 300 million people in the US still think it's just the flu and don't think anything about their lives is gonna change.

My son just started having a stuffy nose and a cough and I hate that I even have to wonder if he's got this.
The Mariners being terrible will be our saving!
By the toll of a billion horrible trades Seattle has bought their birthright of the earth, and it our against all comers.
Stuffy nose isn't one of the symptoms if it makes you feel better.
I'm not sure if it is that impossible, there are not many new cases now in Hong Kong and Taiwan either, places that were hit hard by SARS.
I guess we will see. Seems like eventually the CDC is just going to quarantine everyone coming in from anywhere. Is it a mandatory you need to stay in your home thing? This shit is sort of nuts.
Trump and co. are probably just hoping to keep the numbers as low as possible, but in the end all that will do is increase the death toll percentage because those who do die from it will end up reported anyway.
When everyone is at home, it's not that hard to stop community transmission.
No its not mandatory. There have already been reports of people breaking quarantine to go to social gatherings. Thats why its gonna be even worse in the US.
France is much more richer and better funded then Italy, with a better health infrastructure. It's also better equipped to fight the disease then Italy ever was.
Less people should die and get the disease. Still lockdowns will happen.
I would not fly there until end of April
Yes, that's what helps to bring the R0 down to ~1 or 2. Since it's context sensitive, it's possible to stop an epidemic by following strict containment measures.
Federal government incompetence. I'm sure things like this have to be personally blessed by pence/trump
Do you guys think the US and Canada will close land boarders? I travel back and forth a lot.
Canada and Mexico will block US visitors from border crossing soon.
Can't comment on Hong Kong but Taiwan has been incredible from the first few days, they've done everything right and are continuing to be vigilant.
I'm sure China doesn't have a ton of cases anymore but the incredibly sharp drop combined with the economic damage and Xi constantly talking about getting back to work is extremely suspicious. If they rush things they're going to end up with a second wave and no one wants that.
honestly I'm baffled by so many people worried about their trips to Europe...
I'm Italian and two weeks ago I canceled my trip to France that was due next week.
instead of thinking about your holidays be socially responsible and just cancel the whole thing.
If not for yourselves do it for the people you'd be putting in danger.

And yet the thumbnail still shows he's a right wing shithead.
While that is true, most of the deaths are coming from a single nursing home center of people in the perfect age for the virus lethality. What exactly would you like Washington state to do exactly?
Let's at least try. Of course it would make a difference. Right now there are so many businesses that are just waiting for the first case to hit their building before they decide to take action.
The mayor is still perpetuating that it takes 'a certain kind of intimacy' to expose yourself. Even though we know for a fact that it has been transmitted by people sharing bus seats and the like. A bus seat is not intimate.
Same here. Got tickets for AEW Dynamite in Newark and I am taking my wife and kid to Manhattan. She's getting pretty nervous about it all.
Yep going to be a ton of Europe spring breakers coming back and spreading it.
Pretty much worse case too as I would think younger people would be likely carriers with very minor symptoms and don't present to a hospital but just spread it around everywhere assuming they just picked up a minor cold/bug on the plane ride back.
I went to France and Spain last October and honestly did pick up something pretty nasty on the way back.

Shame on Disney for not changing their refund policy in this time of crisis.
Are you insured? Being diagnoses/getting tested with Corona might cost more than the trip.
The US doesn't even have fever screening in all international airports (or anywhere public, really) there is no designated fever wards/clinics anywhere around here and we are still doing practically no testing.
There is also not nearly enough being done to up the ICU capacity.
The response here was pretty lacking so far.
Also, the US had almost 2 months to prepare for that, and it has been known for a while the old people are the most vulnerable, and there was really nothing done on any government level to help nursing home better prepared for this.
I wouldn't be as sure, America got EXTREMELY angry when countries suggested some rather minor travel restriction for travelers from the US during swine flu.
No one want to be on the receiving end of the US getting angry, that's how you get sanctions.
Coronavirus can travel twice as far as official 'safe distance' and stay in air for 30 minutes, Chinese study finds.

Coronavirus can travel twice as far as official ‘safe distance’, study says
Health authorities advise people to stay 1-2 metres apart, but researchers found that a bus passenger infected fellow travellers sitting 4.5 metres away.

I'm moving back there then so it's not really an option
I'm currently visiting my brother in Prague with my whole family. I am the only one who is serious about washing hands of the five of us. It's incredibly frustrating dealing with my mom's comments about my supposed "anxiety" over Covid.
I can only imagine what will be coming back when all the study abroad kids return, assuming their programs aren't cancelled.

Opposite of what the CDC day regarding face masks. Definitely think the masks help more than what we're being led to believe.
Calling it the "Chinese coronavirus" this late in the game is quite the dogwhistle huh
Again, masks help if you're already sick. The sick person was not wearing a mask, which is what the article states.
I mean I'm going there to fix up things for when I move back at the end of the next month. I'm not going to Cancun or something and I'm not going to be out there licking metro seats. I go to NYC every week several times and it's awful there too. My wife and I have to look for a new place and getting an apartment in Paris/building a file is much more tedious than it is in the US.
Only one sample? What kind of research is that?
And it's a bus, there's a very high chance that the travelers got the virus from the door, trailing, and other things in the bus.
I am insured but I bet it still costs as much as the trip if needed.
Oh it's a good thing it only spreads from shaking hands!
COVID-19 patients don't tend to sneeze or have stuffy noses.
New Jersey declared a state of emergency after 11 cases were confirmed, one as far south as Cherry Hill. Got an email (regarding a book sale) that mentioned the Princeton Day School may close as early as this week, and that's probably not the only school.
Runny nose is the first symptom on Google and that's actually what he has. I'll be keeping an eye out for fever over the next few days but am assuming it's just a cold.
CDC doesn't have runny nose as symptom:
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) – Symptoms
Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Call your doctor if you develop symptoms.
Dry cough, fever, fatigue, muscle aches, shortness of breath

Apparently WHO does though.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
WHO is continuously monitoring and responding to this pandemic. This questions and answers page will be updated as more is known about COVID-19, how it spreads and how it is affecting people worldwide. For more information, regularly check the WHO coronavirus pages. https://www.who.int/covid-19
"The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually."
