I would not blame the media on this- just look at the two nba players and what happened at the biogen conference in Boston. I am no alarmist, but it seems to make sense that at least for the short term we try to avoid all large gatherings and avoid contact to at least slow the progress of this virus.
My wife has dozens of cousins in and around Como, Italy and their hospitals are overwhelmed because they acted too late. They have been stuck in their homes now for about a week
It makes sense to be prudent-not panic and be sensible. This thing is going to get worse before it gets better
The Chinese travel ban bought us some time(but we got blindsided by Italy). We need to get more tests out there and have the drive thru testing like Germany and Korea
