I honestly don't think we are doing enough to stop it. People do news reports on the outbreak,and no-one does anything about it. What are your viewpoints???
What more do you think should be done? Please list your ideas.
Shut down international air travel completely? That seems to be the most common way it is being spread.
I hate air travel myself but seems unrealistic to completely isolate our country from all other countries with nCov-19, now including Italy.
What about shipments of factory-made items touched by people in those countries? Do we put those ships in quarantine?
The word "quarantine" comes from making sailing ships stay out of port for 40 days to make sure they weren't disease carriers so not a new idea (from year 1377).
New technology is needed to deal with our germ laden global-accessible world. Disease can be spread faster than ever before. I wear gloves when I go to public places like grocery store and gym. Regular flu is a concern more than Ncov-19.

We do not need air travel for humans. Air freight is fine. If its important enough then special charter flights.

Its a lot better than cramming people in flying cans of tuna.

There is no stopping this virus.
That ship sailed, back in December.
There are a lot of things being done to slow it down.
That we don't have an active breakout already
burning through the US is testament to two things:
Good quarantine measures,
and good fortune.
Regular flu is manageable because we have vaccines and acquired immunities for most of the population. Most people who die from it are already unhealthy.
COVID19 appears to be more contagious and more lethal. People who are not ill can spread it.
Creating strong perimeters around pockets of the disease, finding and tracking possible contacts, requiring isolation, plus reducing travel to and from affected regions are the first steps —which are already being taken.
People need to stay aware. Avoid places where you can be exposed and practice regular hand washing.

Just not that many American went to China in December when the disease was getting started before it became recognized as a real threat
The fact that there are 300 possible cases in Michigan
Likely Ann Arbor area where the University is with lot of Asian students and profs shows there ARE risks
And the fact that the authorities still don’t know how northern Italy became a hot bed of infection is a real worry
Apparently there are some infected people who do not show symptoms and yet are contagious
And there might be patients who appear to be well and then are re-infected...
Because China is still not being transparent about what is going on in the initiation site much important data is being lost...
University of Nebraska where some cruise victims were sent MIGHT have a vaccine—
Being tested on one of the cruise volunteers
But again w/o a full range of knowledge about how this virus operates and mutates hard to design a vaccine...

Many a movie/book about such outbreaks depicts a casual attitude with sporadic reports of people being infected, then things get much worse.
Those movies/books also depict drastic/dire measures to prevent the spread and/or containment of such an outbreak.
As long as this was not purposely engineered in a Chinese biological warfare lab to be resistant to typical means of treatment, it should go the way of SARS and MERS with proper precautions.

A lot of what you wrote here doesn't make sense.
Maybe after you get some sleep, you can write more coherently.
Anyone who gets this flu will be quarantined and the CDC will continue to track those cases. What more can we do?
Report to your doctor if you think you have the flu vs staying home or going to work and making other people sick
The CDC screwed up tests kits for this virus that it send to all the states several weeks ago
Now only 5 states have the ability to actually do mass testing of possible victims
That is sucky protocol and follow-through on part of the CDC
But could also be laid at Trump’s door for cutting funding and forcing scientists to leave when their work standards as disdained as fake science...
