Here is what CNN says ( but it is at a bottom of the article :-( )
"Biggest threat is panic, not the virus itself'"

I have real problem with what the UK government are saying and doing.
Today flights have come into Heathrow from North Italy, Tehran, Hongkong and Japan. This is one of the reason why I envy America in having a man at the top who has no problem doing what should he done by refusing flights from countries that are known as high risk. No brainer.
Hand gel bandits are now facing prosecution if caught selling at exorbitant rates.
The phase we are in is now phase two which is exactly the same as phase one and they have made themselves look a bit silly by not just saying it was out of control from half a phase in but no they want to give people the idea they have a strategy other than hygiene.
Phase two should have been banning flights from hotbeds and installing free hand gel dispensers all over the place but the Polish will only drink it up I guess. One chap from the Middle East was drinking straight from the pump at a fuel station and was arrested for not paying but because he was full of petrol the police didn't know what to do with him because he was a fire risk, so they put him in a gas cage at the fire station.

Finland has about 11 confirmed cases now, and 150ish people in quarantine, including 4 school classes and their teachers. No deaths so far. Most of the infections seem to come from passengers that were visiting northern Italy. Im not too worried yet, but well see how it progresses. Our government claims it has the things in control, but it might be just matter of time until the panic strikes here too and you see stores and places emptying. Luckily Finland is pretty sparsely populated and caught early on the people that were infected and which people they had met, so that should hopefully limit the infection rate.

I'm telling you guys, Worrying about this just hurts the quality of life, It's a beautiful day outside, Too nice of a day to waste worrying, This thing is nothing but a cold that sometimes kills people, yeah, That sucks, But It's just a new virus. It will have seasons like any other cold or flu and it's going to begin drying up for the season in about a month or so.
You can't spend your life worrying, Or your not really living your life.
What's that old saying, A Man, Only has to die the one time, While a Coward dies a thousand times a day. " It was something like that" Live Life be happy, Listen to the Media that wants nothing but to control people with panic and fear A lot less. We only have a certain amount of time to be here. We may as well make the best of it.

That better not be a Chinese proverb.
I've got one.
Teach a man to fish under regulation and not for the wet market and the world will smile at you.
Eighty percent at worst and twenty at best is being said here by officials. Anyone in their forties and above should be a little concerned for their folks. I am for my old dear as she's getting on.

Countries need to 'pull out all the stops' to combat coronavirus, WHO warns
The global march of the new virus triggered a vigorous appeal from the World Health Organization today for governments to pull out 'all the stops' to slow the epidemic, as it drained color from India's spring festivities, closed Bethlehem's Nativity Church and blocked Italians from visiting elderly relatives in nursing homes.
The UN health agency urged all countries to 'push this virus back,' a call to action reinforced by figures showing there are now about 17 times as many new infections outside China as in it. To date, the virus has infected nearly 97,000 people and killed over 3,300.
'This is not a drill. This is not the time for giving up. This is not a time of for excuses. This is a time for pulling out all the stops,' WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a daily briefing in Geneva. 'Countries have been planning for scenarios like this for decades. Now is the time to act on those plans.'

I think it's important that people not panic. The deal is, Stress and worry really are bad for a person, What good is hoping for the best not to catch the Virus if one dies of a heart attack or stroke before it can even hit if it even hits us at all?

Imagine what this is going to do to social activities. I mean things like young people Dating. A time will come when no one will be out mingling looking for people to make babies with because everyone is afraid of all the germs.
I'm glad I came from the generation I did.
