Fight Back Against President Obama [ACT NOW]
Authorities in King County, Washington, home to Seattle, are urging its 2.2 million residents to work from home and those over 60 to stay indoors as the coronavirus has confirmed to have infected 31 people there and killed nine, so far.
For those not fully informed, rumors and panic have begun to take hold.
Per the Los Angeles Times:
Parents keep their children inside. Few people shake hands anymore. More than two dozen firefighters remain in quarantine. Restaurants and hair salons are close to empty.
Such is life in Kirkland, Wash., the suburb just east of Seattle known for its folksy downtown and spectacular lakefront views, but now above all as the U.S. epicenter of COVID-19.
Of the 11 U.S. deaths from the coronavirus epidemic, eight were residents of a local nursing home that is struggling to care for others who may have been infected. An additional death occurred at a Kirkland hospital.
“I can’t kiss my kids,” said Hamid Dabbaghian, a 48-year-old cashier at the Kirkland Whole Foods who recently moved here from Iran and feared catching the virus from customers. “As a newcomer to the U.S., I’m worried about my family, and worried that if I die, what will they do.”
Though it doesn’t have the devastating prognosis associated with Ebola, coronavirus has a fatality rate of 3.4% – significantly higher than the regular flu.
The key when responding to potential health crises should always be the same: educate yourself, practice good hygiene, and don’t panic.

don’t touch period. and send that iranian back to the dam sandbox.
The adjusted for unreported cases estimate is under 2%. Why the scare tactics?
Panic is a waste of energy and time.
Caution..yes..panic no.
I am very old..I have just lost two friends with a quick pnuemonia..Neither were checked for the virus..
I rember Ebola crisis..the hosipital here claimed that their ebola unit built for “in case” was deparate ventilation system from rest of building..few mon;ths after ebola became history it was discovered that the ventilation from that unit went directly into system of rest of the building. OPPS!!
I know for a fact that while I was being question every where I went from airport to docto’s office I was asked if I had travelled to various places..Yet a professor at the local college visited his home in Seirra Leone came aback and went directly back to his class room. No problem. Go figure.
I remember abefore DPT vacs..lost an aunt to diptheria.
I also remember our first telephone placed on wall with a hand crank..so I go back a long time.
So stuff happens..we get thru it.
In the meantime I would panic about a communist and a brain damaged candidate becoming president..or a Beto being in control of the “gun problem”.
Or a speaker of the senate ranting for damage to supreme court justices..This is while we have on justice who has not really worked for months…law clerks are dong supreme court business..not the justice..If I didn’t work for months..no, days, would not have had a job.
Amen!
