It is too early for anyone to know how big a problem this is, but certainly the word pandemic is currently a gross exaggeration. Pandemics require both a high CAR (case acquisition rate, meaning it is highly contagious) and a high CFR (case fatality rate, meaning high % of people that acquire it are dying from it). Viruses mutate quickly which means the CAR & CFR can change along the way. The incubation period is the 3rd key ingredient in that the longer the incubation period, the more rapid the spread can be because people are contagious long before they know it. In a true pandemic you would see the number of sick and dying growing exponentially, not in a slow dribble.

Regarding the contagiousness, and the number of sick and dying, what makes you think the number has not grown exponentially? Is that because you trust the numbers coming from the Chinese govt.? (If so, I got a bridge to sell ya...) Have you seen some of the videos coming out of China today? Hospitals look overwhelmed in the videos. Yeah, it's anecdotal, but the fact that the govt over there is freaking out to the point that they have put all those cities on lock-down, means this is some serious crap or at least they have reason to believe it is.

A&M student at center of Coronavirus investigation in Brazos County

COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (KBTX) - The Brazos County Health District is investigating a suspected case of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in a Texas A&M University student.

Local health officials say that the patient traveled from Wuhan, China, where the current coronavirus outbreak originated. Dr. Eric Wilke, the Brazos County Health Authority, said the patient developed mild symptoms after returning within the 14-day window, then seemed to be improving.

The patient went to an undisclosed hospital in Brazos County on Wednesday night where doctors took samples that have been sent to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta for testing. Local health officials say they don’t believe anyone in the hospital was exposed.

The health district says the patient is currently in isolation at his home while precautionary testing is being done, and results are expected this weekend or early Monday.

At a press conference Thursday, health officials declined to answer some questions about the patient including his age and race, citing patient confidentiality rights.

Officials were also unable to answer what airport the patient reentered the United States through, whether he was on campus before going to the emergency room and which local hospital he visited.

If the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed, health officials will begin a contact tracing process to identify the people with whom the student may have come in contact during a 14-day period.

Dr. Wilke said the Health District was operating under the assumption the student attended classes Wednesday but added Texas A&M University has been deemed a low risk for coronavirus.

Students who have questions or concerns can contact A&M’s Student Health Services at info@shs.tamu.edu or its Facebook page.

The coronavirus sickened hundreds of people in Wuhan, China before spreading to other Asian cities. The only other known U.S. case is in Washington state where a man was diagnosed after returning from a trip to Wuhan.

The virus can cause flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath, and sore throat.

First death outside Hubei province, where Wuhan is. This raises a lot of questions about China's reporting mechanism.

I'm here HD, thanks for asking. We did the cleaning before the new year today so I have been busy. We found a box of surgical masks when we were cleaning which is awesome! I am going to try to make some colloidal silver if I can get a hold of some distilled water(or just find a way to distill my own). I need to watch a video on how to make it. I have a variable voltage power supply, and I gave my father-in-law a 10oz silver bar 2 years ago as a gift. I should be able to find a way to make some. ETA: I see that it really needs to be .9999% pure, but I don't have access to anything that pure. I will have to make due with what I have.

Wife is very concerned about me going to Beijing for my flight back to the states on Feb. 1st. She said that is the most dangerous time because everyone is traveling back after the festival. I am going to play things by ear and see how the next few days progress. I might have to call my boss and change to a later date if things start looking dangerous.

Any help in regards to making and using colloidal silver will be VERY MUCH appreciated. I'll ask the wife if she has any more news I can share.

Here is how I make mine and I hope this helps. I'm only on page 13 so someone may have answered your inquiry. But here goes:
I buy a gallon jug of distilled water from Walmart
I use a drinking glass of this water with ONE TINY GRAIN of table salt to start the reaction. Don't use too much salt or you sol'n will turn black-probably silver chloride exposed to light. Not a chemist so don't really know. Just use a tiny grain.
I purchased a Regulated DC power supply 3 Amp output 0to30V from Elenco Precision Model XP 603 Bought locally
I made 2 plug in wires with alligator clips on the other end.
I purchased a roll of silver wire and attach about a 6 inch piece to each clip
Put the silver wire in the water. Don't let them touch.
Turn on the power and I run It a little high 30V DC. Some say 27 V is ideal but I use 30V
I let it run for about 16 to 18 minutes and then turn the power off.
Carefully remove wires and drink the resulting solution. It will have a metallic taste
If your exceed this time frame the solution turns black, so you have to keep an eye on it ' If it does start to turn. throw it out and repeat all the steps above.
I won't explain the chemistry. I only know that what I make works and it has worked for others. Check online for other options such as 3- 9 volt batteries hooked up to give 27 volts. Best in your endeavors!
Almost forgot scrub each wire with a green scrub pad after each use.

If this Wuhan Coronavirus is causing this, we have a shit storm on our hands. In my entire career, I’ve not seen the flu cause folks to fall out in the street. If you don’t own one already, now would be the time to pick up some p95 or P100 particle masks. #WuhanCoronavirus

Of all the aspects of the rapidly spreading Wuhan virus, this is perhaps the most alarming: A single patient has infected 14 health care workers. That's what's called a "super spreader" -- and identifying them is a key element of fighting the virus.

Are you sure about that?
There is too much weirdness with this.

1. Death without much sign or warning, often without fever.
2. A two-week incubation period.
3. People just dropping like flies, out of the blue.
4. The obvious Chinese embargo on good information, despite a panic response at the institutional level.
