Those people who are panicking must believe the UK numbers you cited earlier. 65 million Americans infected and 650,000 deaths if 20% of the country get the virus. Bumblebee, you seem quite concerned about all of this (not criticism just observation) do you believe those are the numbers the United States will see over the course of the next year? If so why? I have not read anything from US government agencies saying anything like that. I’ve seen some YouTubets saying that as well as a few opinion pieces but nothing official.

I have no idea about the USa as I don’t know what their containment strategy is. I live in Asia but travel frequently between EU, USA and Asia. My colleagues in the US didn’t take it serious at all and asked me to travel to Korea when it was accelerating there, until about one or two weeks ago as it was too far for them to understand the seriousness of the situation. When it broke in Italy they started to take notice and it all went downhill from there.
So far no country has let it ‘run free’ to see what happens and how fast it spirals out of control. I hope it stays that way and hope governments around the world are able to contain the spread.
As the virus progresses to less prepared countries we’ll probably unfortunately see what happens if not properly contained.
I believe it should also be a push to the scientific community to focus on research for vaccines for novel corona virus such as this one and not stop/slow down research for a solution when the threat subsides.
