New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) on Tuesday announced schools and places of worship within a one-mile zone of the city of New Rochelle will close their doors for 14 days, and National Guard troops will help deliver food and disinfect common areas inside the zone.
As the outbreak of the novel coronavirus grows in the U.S., several major colleges like American University and the Ohio State University are shuttering classrooms and moving coursework online through the end of the month at least. There are more than 750 reported cases of covid-19, which has been detected in more than 30 states, prompting many to declare states of emergency.

Lock downs - quarantine zones are beginning
 
This is ****ing stupid...lol
 
It's fear mongering...lol. Fear mongering of the worst order.

Westchester County has 108 confirmed cases out of the entire state of New York's 173 cases. How would you recommend the state contain the outbreak?

It is much too late for that to do any good.

The incubation period is long enough, by the time we knew it was concentrated anywhere, it was no longer concentrated anywhere.

The American Death Rate is currently under 1%. In Italy, it is over 39%.

You should be scared.

Especially if you are over 55 years old, have organ transplants, lung ailments, are overweight, and/or have Diabetes.

And then there are a whole bunch of Antifa and other Leftie Radical out on the deep-web, bragging about deliberately spreading it to "Deplorables". Most are simply spewing lies and propaganda, but a few have described their method in a way which makes their claims believable.

It won't take many people deliberately spreading the Commie Virus, to cause the un-naturally rapid simultaneity peak of critical cases to completely overwhelm the medical system, and deplete the stocks of available med-doses.

Under such conditions, we can expect the American Death Rate for the Commie Virus to reach or exceed the Italian 39%.

Under natural circumstances, the peak death rate is expected to be about 3%, mostly focused on the elderly.

Roughly 80 Million died worldwide in WWII. At a 3% Death Rate, the world loss will be around 230 Million. At a 40% Death Rate, the American Loss would be around 132 Million. (Do you count Illegals?)

Time to start burning bodies, I guess...lol

It's the end of the world.

Really? So in the face of a new disease you think the best response is to do nothing? There's a lot that isn't known yet even with the information we have from China, and they've taken massive steps in trying to contain it.

Not doing nothing.
Waiting is something.
I think he may only want to wait until covid-19 kills more people each year than the flu before we take this seriously.

He would say "personal responsibility" becasue that solves everything

Where did I say do nothing? Quote me, or just admit you're lying because you don't have an intelligent response.

Doing nothing is worked out so well in Iran.

Do you think personal responsibilty doesn't play a part in this?

Maybe we could establish coronavirus colonies like leper colonies and AIDS colonies?

You dont have to say it. It's the conservative mantra.
