This whole thing is being blown beyond out of proportion. The numbers just do not support the hysteria. We lose many more people to other things every day and nobody bats an eye. All of a sudden 40 deaths, 21 from one nursing home, and it’s the end of times.
Excuse me while I go buy some more TP
The numbers are deceiving because the needed testing has not reached levels it needs to be yet. The lesson from Italy is that this led to unknown spreading and then they got blind sided. As mentioned before their health system is overwhelmed. The Chinese travel ban bought us time and so will the Euro ban. These other shutdowns should also help.
I agree there is a bit of hysteria and it’s being fanned by the media. However, minimizing the problem can be even more dangerous.
I work at a financial institution and we have several contingencies in place and are anticipating a possible shutdown (partial or whole) either based on a local quarantine or just we might have a critical number of employees home sick. The advice to employees was the obvious washing hands etc, repeatedly cleaning work areas. Letting customer take pens that they use. If you are sick stay home. We have also limited client visits and social business events. Staff was also advised to have adequate food and supplies available at home in case of some kind of shutdown. The local public school shutdown has already put a struggle on staff with childcare issues
Again, the numbers will get worse before they get better
