The antisocial people will live on to tell our story.

When they tell you to remain calm, that's when you should panic.

[Missmusicdiva]

They (China) knew about this in December. Its February now. That's crazy.

[plumeria]

Only an MD should be speaking about the virus, not a politician.

[murderino]

More than 300 people have died not 200

[casperfarr]

People are saying this is not a bad situation, open your eyes people. Look at what is happening in china

[theawaken]

If they say don’t panic, that’s when we have to worry. Everyone prepare for it is only the beginning.

[dadbadtouch]

I think we should ALL stay home from work until we get the “all clear”!

[cebuanoguy]

I lived in NYC for a couple of years. The buses and trains are always congested. Sometimes I’m breathing behind someone’s neck, or someone is breathing behind my neck. NYC will get infected in less than 3 days.

[jenniferleonor]

Its asymptomatic. U get it fr a person even though they dont show aymptoms. Panic

[markflores]

Our Super Bowl is going to spread this like crazy just like China's big banquet did

[TheRealFollower]

I hope he doesn't actually make any decisions, because if he does everyone is doomed in new york.

[joemonroe]

A lot we do not know, but risk is low. Right. Got it.
