Most Americans Are Not Taking This Coronavirus Outbreak Seriously, And That Is Potentially Very Dangerous

We still don’t know if this coronavirus outbreak will become a horrific worldwide pandemic or not, but what we have seen so far is definitely very alarming. People have literally been dropping dead in the streets, the Chinese government has locked down major city after major city, and the virus kept spreading very rapidly on a cruise ship off the coast of Japan even though a strict quarantine was instituted. Scientists that have studied the virus are telling us that it “could be 20 times more lethal than the flu”, and it binds to human cell receptors much more easily than the SARS virus did. Unfortunately, because the epicenter of this crisis is on the other side of the globe, most Americans are simply not paying much attention to it. In fact, most of the people that my wife and I have been talking to and hearing from don’t think that the coronavirus is much of a threat to the United States at all.

And if the coronavirus does start to become a problem in this country, a new survey has found that most Americans are quite confident that the government can handle it
More than three in four Americans say they are very confident or somewhat confident in the US federal government’s ability to handle a coronavirus outbreak, a Gallup poll has found, a higher level of confidence than in previous health scares.

Gallup said the results were from a February 3 to February 16 poll that began just days after the Trump administration announced it would suspend entry of foreign nationals who had been to China in the previous two weeks.

Just today Trump said of the virus "I think that's a problem that's going to go away," if he’s not worried then I’m not worried.

NO it is just that most Americans are brain dead stupid!!!! You had that one guy from Washington state who left quarantine from japan who where ever it was so he "COULD GET TO ANOTHER JOB" and went to the airport and every where else and all of those who he could have infected... They say his tests were negative but they only found out after he got home!!!!

You can;t stop it spreading with dumb retards like that, and America is 90% filled with them... Then you have the retards who run the show who are just as if not even more stupid than these retard American citizens...

Just know you all are going to get the virus, that is inevitable!!!!

N95 surgical masks are going to be in short supply. LOL they come from China and many Hospitals are locking them up because they are selling 30 times higher and exporting back to China LOL on the profiteering flip.

1:08 pm I bet you listen ToLimbaugh and believe him when he said that the virus was just the common cold. Trump has dismantled the CDC but you believe him, lol. Trump also said the virus would go away when it gets warm. Wake up idiot!

I love how people think 1:08’s comment was serious. Problem is Trump really said that today.

2:35, 3:20, and 4:06 - just stop with the nonsense. Sure we may see some issues. It will not be the end of the world so lets get over yourselves. You are just the people that probably want to see it devastate our country because you think it will help democrats win. Not going to make a difference in the election so get your remotes and go back to your basement.

"Most Americans are not talking this coronavirus outbreak seriously"
So what should or could we, the general population, be doing at this time I ask?

Just how are we to take this seriously? Stay home - don't go to work, school, church, grocery store or any social activity. Just what are we to take seriously?

since this virus was created by the chicoms in their bio weapons lab I think anyone who loses revenue or sustains additional costs from this man made disaster then they should sue the chicoms for restitution!
