What parts were rosy and non-factual?
What amazes me is what a HUGE media event this has become with so few deaths and infections.
Last year, more than 80,000 people died of the flu and its complications in the United States, the highest death toll for the disease in at least four decades. How many have succumbed to the coronavirus?

It's already here. You can start panicking now. You seem to like it.

What epidemic? 80,000 cases in a worldwide population of 7,700,000,000 people isn't much of an epidemic!

Live updates: Spread of coronavirus in U.S. appears inevitable, health officials warn

Health officials in the United States warned Tuesday that the spread of the novel coronavirus in the country appears inevitable, marking a significant change in tone as global travel disruptions continued to worsen, South Korea neared 1,000 cases and Iran reported at least 15 deaths.
China and South Korea announced new cases of the coronavirus, raising concerns in both nations about how long it could take for normal life to return. South Korea confirmed 144 more cases, bringing its total to 977, the most outside China. President Moon Jae-in visited the city of Daegu, where more than half of the country’s confirmed cases have been found, Tuesday afternoon local time.
Travel disruptions continued to spread, with the United Arab Emirates, one of the world’s most critical aviation hubs, saying it would suspend all travel to and from Iran, where authorities confirmed that the death toll has reached at least 15. In Iran, an opposition lawmaker and the deputy health minister tested positive for the virus as the death toll there climbed.
Early Tuesday, global markets appeared to stabilize after Monday’s heavy losses — until the Dow Jones fell 600 points, wiping out a 150-point gain.
Here are the latest developments:
● The Chinese government said Tuesday that there had been 508 new confirmed cases by the end of the previous day, along with 74 deaths, bringing the total number of accumulated infections nationwide to 77,658, with 2,663 deaths.
●“Ultimately, we expect we will see community spread in the United States,” Nancy Messonnier, a top official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters. “It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses.”

In addition to (wisely) banning flights in from Red China weeks ago to protect the American people, Pres.Trump is nmow seeking serious supplemental funding to help find a coronoavirus vaccine as well as combatting the cases that are already present.
TY, Mr.President….now LET'S SEE WHAT CONGRESS DOES.
Trump asking Congress for $2.5 billion to fight coronavirus: White House
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration is sending to the U.S. Congress a budget request for $2.5 billion to fight coronavirus, the White House said on Monday.
More than $1 billion of the money would go toward developing a vaccine, the White House said.
“Today, the Administration is transmitting to Congress a $2.5 billion supplemental funding plan to accelerate vaccine development, support preparedness and response activities and to procure much needed equipment and supplies,” Rachel Semmel, a spokeswoman for the White House Office of Management and Budget, said in a statement.

Yeah, WE created a disease and spread it around the world. Cause that's what DEMS do. Sure, why not? Cooked it up in cauldron and pots and MARIJUANA hot houses. Sure that's it.

You are a disease.
Maybe this is what will finally wipe out the Palestinians.
Today , Trumps head of CDC said it will be a year and half to get a vaccine. He also said it is not if the Coronavirus will get here ,but when. You guys must calm him down. My righty friend in Florida insists that the regular flu deaths, 8200 this year,are actually Coronas. Trump did slash the CDC buget twice. Same for Health and Sevices which had a group that was supposed to spearhead defense against pandemics. That is all good because daffy did it. If a Dem did it, it would be criminal.

1.9% lethality rate, the 1917 flu outbreak's lethaloty rate was less. 1 province in China says they are seeing a lethality rate as high as 6%.
We are NOT prepared. Remember, they do NOT know exact cause of transmission yet.

That's wrong--though if he/she means to 'HUMAN TRIALS' in a year and half, that might be a good projection.
ADD: I just read that CLINICAL TRIALS could commence in 6 months, so this is definitely fast tracked. Who did the first 'formulas'? Us, China, Japan, you got me--I hope they WORK!
It would be interesting to know if/how the WHO works into all this. Or is it big pharma, ours, other country's pharma? Do they work in tandem? (Nice thought). Not a clue.

WIMP. Of all the names you could call me on this particular post, WIMP? The title is about as unwimpy as I can muster. I guess I could have added some expletives. WE ARE NOT FUCKING READY, no GODDAMN WAY!
I will reiterate, among the prayerful here, get on you knees.

“The flu remains a higher threat to U.S. public health than the new coronavirus.
This flu season alone has sickened at least 19 million across the U.S. and led to 10,000 deaths and 180,000 hospitalizations.
