Well of course, nobody wants to see anyone get sick or die, obviously. But isn’t that the case with any sickness generally? The older/more compromised your immune system already is, the harder something like this will hit.
My sister in law had a baby yesterday and we went to the hospital to visit this morning. We were “screened” when we went in. The screening consisted of literally asking if we had been out of the country or had a fever. If that’s what these measures are going to be, then yeah, you can probably expect it to spread. I mean, it was kind of a joke.
