Not just an REM song anymore... I have a bad feeling about the fast moving virus now dominating daily news reports, my government in canada says the risk is low but it's not and nčeds to be treated as a serious threat to everyone. Our first cases are being allowed to self isolate, and that's not good enough. Isolation of every case must happen and must not be based on trusting the infected individuals to stay home and self isolate. A virus as dangerous as this must be treated as an extremely dangerous threat to everyone, kept from spreading and not allowed into our midst. I'm amazed at the complacency shown by the ptb in so many places, because once it starts it won't stop. I'm scared for the future, and it's just starting at this point. Forget climate change for now, we wont have to worry if this gets bad, the planet will shrug off this parasite and cleanse itself, and we as a species will only be a bad dream that mother earth had on a stormy night.

If you go by the mainstream sources, they're panicking, but the statistics described aren't even as bad as the average flu.
If you look at the precautions being taken in China and elsewhere, it seems to indicate something much bigger.
If you go by the conspiracy theory sites and the right wing propaganda sites, it's the end of the world (Moderate-left though I am, I do acknowledge that conspiracy theory sites do get it right sometimes, and I'll be curious to see how things play out).
That said, my gut feeling has been in the "It's a lot worse than the statistics indicate" camp since the news about it was first reported, and I've been gradually stocking up accordingly. Think this weekend is going to go toward stocking up just a bit more on water, since I've enough food to last at least a few months.
For me, anyway. Cat food however, is expensive and that's going to be my Achilles heel if any extended quarantine period for the general population happens. Still have enough to last a few weeks though.

Maybe. Whatever you do, don't take aspirin with a fever, unless its real high-- Spanish Flu 1918 overused aspirin and it didn't turn out well. If one does use aspirin to reduce fever- you take a chance of the flu going into pneumonia -the body needs the fever to combat the illness. My grandparents both survived that Flu. There were about 670,000 deaths in the USA.
