Seems there isn't much worry about that. Last year more people had and died from the flu than we have with this. Rocky

antonellomopar, This is where you just shrug your shoulders and do what YOU need to do to stay safe.

Let the people that want to ignore this handle the virus when it hits them. There is NOTHING you or I can say that will change their minds.

We currently have 37 dead JUST in Washington state. And 565 confirmed cases.
The main reason we do not have more is we are learning from China and Italy's mistakes. We are in most parts doing "Social Distancing".

Not point a finger at anyone person. Just saying do your best to stay clear of this.
There is a saying "There is no cure for STUPID". But DEATH is a sure cure for it.
