Did you follow what happened at Wuhan at all? A business as usual approach lead to hospitals being overrun with sick patients. First, they filled up the beds, then they filled up the hallways and waiting rooms, then they started filling up things like gymnasiums with cots, then they tried building a new hospital in a few weeks... The full hospitals meant people couldn't get treatment for other conditions. Whether it was their cancer treatment or ear infection, or hip surgery or whatever. For people that get it: some will have no symptoms, some will be no worse than a typical flu and can stay home, some will get very sick and need intensive treatment. Typically they will get pneumonia and will need to be in ICU and on a ventilator. Those over 70 even with good treatment could die. Those 50 or under, typically can make a full recovery, assuming they can get good ICU and ventilator care. If the hospitals are over flowing, then even the under 50 can die. This happened in Wuhan. Yes, case number and deaths appear to be at least leveling off in China, if not declining. But the country is still under draconian quarantine. It is not clear what would happen if they suddenly went back to a business as usual approach. Cases might skyrocket again. So it is worth taking this seriously and trying to be smart without panicking. Nobody knows for sure how it is going to evolve. Warmer weather may cause it to essentially disappear until next fall/winter. By then, it may have mutated into a less serious form. We might have a vaccine or better treatments by then. Etc. But we might not. It appears to have hit Iran pretty hard and they haven't really tried containment. That should presumably tell us quit a lot in a few weeks.

I have a feeling the LiveSteam's of the country are going to go from "meh, whatever happens happens" to "ZOMG lock everyone up! We must have order! Now is the time to panic!" in about a day.

At least the Chiefs won the Super Bowl before all this broke out. Imagine if the SB were in 2 weeks and no one knew what to do. That would really suck.

One of the reason the Chinese were able to stop the spread in their country was that its a communist state. They made it mandatory for 50 Million people to stay in their homes. They track everyone with that free app everyone uses to pay for stuff. They put drones up in the quarantined neighborhoods and warned people if they ventured outside. Sent in troops if they didnt go back inside.
