And then after a few months you never hear about it. Like the Ebola scare. Not the Coronavirus. Is this different or just another non issue that eventually will amount to nothing and we won’t hear about it after a few months.

Isn't it nice that organizations and people work hard to contain epidemics so the rest of us can have a relaxed attitude about it?

In this instance they don't know enough yet to decide. But if you're going to take any scare seriously, it should be viruses. Read up on the Spanish flu some time.

It is all about fast action and containment these days but the media sure likes to hype a story.



The thing is there will actually be more deaths this week attributed to the common flu that will be ignored then deaths by this new bug.



I'm actually kind of surprised that the mass media is reporting at all considering there is an impeachment going on but even they must realize the case is pretty weak and even their Lefty viewers are tuning out.

Should be called the Kansas flu.

It was a product used to calm the war down.

Click bait. The media is desperate for eyeballs and this sham impeachment trial isn't helping their ratings.

That’s because every year, we get a new strain of some virus.

You think this is a joke? Because I guarantee you that the afflicted aren’t laughing.
