Nah, Pennywise even cancelled the rest of the XFL season.

My friend works for TripAdvisor and just came back from India a couple of days ago just diagnosed with it. Said he was bad yesterday, but feeling much better today. It's a case of slowing it enough for hospitals to cope rather than overloading the system. I was going to Poland in a couple of weeks, but now Poland is closing borders (and restaurants and bars).

The very unfortunate part of this whole this is media inciting darn near mass panic....for no reason. The sky is not falling.

Use common sense and common sense measures - we will be ok people.

The worst part of this is people thinking that it is nothing more than media hysteria and not taking it seriously enough.

Period.

When there's no toilet paper on the shelves at supermarkets you know something's going on

A delivery of toilet paper to a California Costco required a police escort.

Korea here! Good stuff.

I don't quite get the toilet paper run or the hoarding in general. The stores are not going anywhere. Even in China the streets are empty but the grocery stores are stocked and open.

My wife's a nurse as well and the big topic she had today was getting the nurses for tested for masks. You have to be trained to fit these masks and the tests waste a mask on every test. Even before this there was a general shortage on these masks.

This is pretty somber...

By Michael S. Saag | Infectious disease expert at UAB

NOTE: Dr. Michael S. Saag is professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is world-renowned for his work on the HIV virus. He asked us to print his assessment of the coronavirus reflecting his opinion, not necessarily representing the opinions of UAB or the University of Alabama System. He passed this on to us in the form of an open letter to the citizens of Alabama. Follow other stories in our live updates.What else happens if we do nothing?So the question then becomes: Where do the new, coronavirus patients with severe disease go?

Italy currently gives us some tragic insight. In Lombardy, Italy, last week, up to 200 patients needed admission to the hospital. But there were no more beds available. So the physicians had to scour the hospital making difficult decisions about which patients were too sick to recover and discharge them home to die in order to make room for those who had a chance to live. And I just heard from a colleague in Switzerland. They are on the verge of having to make the same decisions. No one wants to ever be in that gut-wrenching position.

The biggest concern is not the absolute number of infections; rather, it is the timing of when these infections occur. this New York Times graphicWhat can you we do?Michael S. Saag, MD, is Professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
