I am slightly concerned but
I am slightly concerned but if we continue to be careful I think we will be OK.
We will have these diseases
We will have these diseases along with animal being faced with the same. Odd ball fish ruining are lakes and a lot more.As long as we keep are borders open to every Tom, Dick and Harry this will never stop.Especially drugs.
I personally believe this
I personally believe this virus is the result of the W.H.O. designing and spreading it, they desire to control people, economy, everything and what easier way for them to do that than create a virus and spread it to the most populated country in the world and let it spread from there....exactly what it is doing!
While I would like to think
While I would like to think my personal chance of getting it is slight, a friend was in Hawaii just preparing fly home when he fell ill. He ended up in the hospital, in ICU and isolation. He had pneumonia and the flu, not the virus,and is now home, but I can tell you, the W.H.O. the CDC, down to medical personnel at the local level are very alert to this. Trump saying this will disappear in April when the weather warms up,leaves me speechless

The Coronavirus is a devastating illness! However we have been in this position before ! The Black Plague , Influenza Epidemic in the 1900's, Legionnaires disease just to name a few . The list is endless . And I am sure we will see different variations of diseases in the future . What happens happens ! Wrong place wrong time! Who knows . It's not natural selection . And WHO is not responsible for it's spread . Let's get real . The medical profession will find the answer . Let us not be Chicken Little Crying The Sky Is Falling .

How many are familiar with ABC warfare? China knew this [Corona-virus] was implemented in December 2019 and forbid the doctors to make it public.

As with much that we see and hear today, this issue seems to be over hyped by the media. More people have died from the Flu in the USA since December of 2019 than have died from the coronavirus in the entire world. I believe we need to be cautious, but not panic. We are becoming a world of gullibility believing and reacting to whatever we are told. Words like pandemic are thrown around too quickly just to increase the fear in the masses.

I believe we should be concerned but not panic. There have been more deaths in the USA from the flu since Dec 2019 than coronavirus has claimed in the world. We are becoming a world of gullibility believing whatever hype the media feeds us. I feel too often the media and politicians throw out words like pandemic simply to instill fear and gain the ability to spend more money. We should be careful as this is a serious disease, but we should not let the media and politicians cause us to panic.
