I think it is likely that school will be cancelled for at least part of the

country before the end of the year. The disease spreads so fast and schools are a huge breeding ground for it.

Also not to sound callous, but the 12 deaths in Italy were elderly w/ health

A lot of those elderly with comorbidities look in many ways like my parents,

Elderly men in China likely have lungs destroyed from yrs of smoking

I think a general quarantine is futile. They should quarantine the high risk

Totally agree. And your approach would help keep the economy moving.

Less than spanish influenza at least. I think panic and quarentine will lead to

That's why everyone should plan for a 3 to 4 week quarentine in the US.

China studied 72,000 infected with the coronavirus and reported a death rate at 2.3%. Death rate much higher for

72k confirmed. It’s likely a lot higher than that.

I hope isolate for a time

Some jobs you just can’t isolate for. My job is very face to face intensive.

In 2015, smoking prevalence was 27.7% (52.1% among men and 2.7% among women)

316 million adult smokers in China... WOW!

I think the air pollution is just as big of a problem as the smoking.

SweetBabyG

That could affect Utahn's as well.. our air is horrible.

Patently not true. It’s bad an average of 7 red air days a year. Big difference.
