Yes we are. I want you to keep this fact in mind: We don't know how many people are infected. We only the number from people who go in to get checked. For all you know there's a ton of people with a slight flu that are now fine. My son and myself had a pretty rough cough and fever Feb 30. Could that have been the chinese virus? We don't know. Extrapolate.
Based on everything I've read there's two schools of thought:
1. Let the virus take hold. Save the economy, let God sort out the vulnerable.
2. Quarantine and contain. Save the vulnerable, life-support the economy until the virus dies out.
US and others are doing #2.
England is doing #1.
We'll see how that plays out.
