Don't worry. Donald Trump says that Mike Pence will take care of the virus for a fraction of the money that California is asking for.

And he's cutting money from the CDC and Medicare.

Trump is an expert on viruses - being one himself. Trump may next claim the Coronavirus comes from Corona beer which may use Mexican water. We need to ban the importation of Corona beer and make Mexico pay for any lost income to friends of Trump.

Has anyone seen the movie “Contagion”
The reality is the first global impact is the economy. It will fall apart as long as there is no conclusive proof that the disease is under control. Control defined as we having a vaccine and have distributed it to every person in the world, or enough to make the disease not a threat.
Problem, viruses mutate and can in less than a day, thus one vaccine may only work for a window of time.
Now lets look at the “stock” market. It is going down because when it really comes down to it, a dollar is just a dollar, but life and death is a superior force to money.
And the stock market is thinking, oh, if the feds drop interest rates we will be fine. REALLY, interest rates cannot fix a pandemic or epidemic of a disease with as much as a 2% mortality. Meaning 2 out of 100 who get it dies.
WHERE was the efficient process to deal with this kind of problem? The poor and incredibly inefficient health care system we have in this country is showing how flawed it is.
I suggest everyone get out of their homes and enjoy the company of each other before there are curfews and martial laws placed to isolate the people. That is the only way to prevent spread of a disease that you cannot even track.

This issue has a new meaning of urgency, since another case has just been confirmed in El Camni Hospital, our backyard.

I understand trying to keep mass hysteria down, but they need to come forthright with all the information and plan for the public. It’s only a matter of time it spreads now that it’s confirmed people contracted from unknown origin... some asymptomatic people are spreading it around unknowingly.
Be mindful of what you touch and improve your health.

Less than 12 hours ago, the President called the whole thing a HOAX.
It's silly. That's why Donald Trump appointed Pence to run the whole thing. So silly that Pence's first action was to fly to Florida (for a fundraiser.)
Stop worrying, folks. We're cutting budgets for the CDC, Medicare etc.. Web Link
Quit whining. 45 knows all.
