This whole thing stinks to high heaven. At most so far 59 people have died, with most of them being in one nursing home in Kirkland WA. The media is fear mongering harder than ever to make orange man look bad. Schools and businesses are closing which is sure to send us into recession if not worse. Out of 330,000,000 people, 59 have died in the US and everything is screeching to a halt. Something isn't right here but it's fucking everything up. The economy was the best it's ever been in the history of our country and now everything is going to shit because of less than 100 deaths. More people probably die each year from skiing accidents. This is un fucking believable.
EDIT: I'm not saying this is a total hoax. I'm saying the media overreaction is making things way worse than they have to be. Panicking is never going to make anything better. If this is truly as bad as some of you are saying, I hope it justifies sending our economy into great depression 2 Corona boogaloo
I remember reading an article yesterday where the title was something like "35 year old VICTIM of the Coronavirus.... who also had Dengue fever. BUT SERIOUSLY CORONA GUYZ!!"
The panic going on in the US is un-fucking-believable. But at least it's not Iceland, who has effectively shutdown right now. The exchange rate of my currency to US dollars is absolute shit right now.
He has to take these actions now to reassure the public and investors because the Chicken Littles have been tanking the economy, and blaming him.
For starters, The deaths in state of Washington should be subject to a criminal investigation. Amazing that there has been no spread for there, alone?
Researchers have sequenced the genome of the virus that caused the outbreak in Washington, and compared it to the one in China.
They believe the virus arrived in Washington from China sometime in mid-January, and was spreading undetected since then. By the time deaths started, it was already widespread.

What if the cdc is full of the swamp just like the fbi, cia, state dept, nsc, ...etc. When the media says “trust the experts” I inherently don’t now. This is moving along the same lines as other impeachment hoax’s or power grabs. I have family that is screaming Trump is a tyrant but at the same time they want to give him more power? I’m starting to see the headlines now “Medicare for all” “universal income” “Trumps managing the outbreak poorly”. And they wonder why people are skeptical of the outbreak information. I have heard for 3 1/2 years now how the left wants to kill the economy to keep Trump from getting elected.
I don’t think this is a “hoax” per say but the data I’m seeing reported is significantly manipulated and not as comparable as they are presenting it.
That's basically what I hear the UK is doing. They're going to let it burn through the population and develop herd immunity. Good podcast with Stephen K Bannon here:

If we took zero action and the rest of the world took zero action, we would probably would not even notice.
No, there would not be a significant amount of elderly dead over any other seasonal disease. Problem is that they are selectively testing people. I know that two people at work probably have it, and the doctors in this shit medical system refuse to test them. They diagnosed them over the phone, even. "Oh if you haven't traveled you don't have it. Self quarantine lol"
