The error with you suggesting to only quarantine the sick is that this virus is DIFFERENT.
1st, it is indisputable, that this virus is transmissible even when a person is asymptomatic! We still do not know the incubation period, how long this virus thrives outside of the human body (for sure), or what the hosts/vectors are.
If this virus is anything like the prior SARS viruses, it can have a mortality rate of up to 34%, can you begin to imagine those numbers if this virus produces strains of that magnitude?
I do not claim to have the answers, but people brushing this off like it is no big deal, when the entire word as we know it, is seeing the effects of this, be it the virus or its soci-economical consequences.
To the naysayers, I ask, WHAT possible gain would any country have to over exacerbate the danger of this virus?

I totally agree with your comments in the first paragraph.
You comment about the Hubs changing channels.
I agree with your comments and position on this. Having said that, I trust the medical professionals in this country far more than I do the politicians or the media. I don't trust politicians of any party, especially the liberals.

They have fkd this entire nation up. As careful as I am, if someone near me dies, I place 99% of the blame on the networks and the conglomerates that pull the politicians strings and vice versa.
Furthermore...fk China, fk Iran fk Iraq, fk'em all and especially fk anyone that thought moving manufacturing outside the US was a great idea. They need to burn in hell and all the way to hell. We were a strong industrial might and now we are a pathetic whimpering puppy because there is a virus on the loose bringing us to our knees. The fkn Chinese are doing what Germany and Japan couldn't do without a single shot. Fk the liberals too.

I could not agree more with your last paragraph.
Not only do I not trust our politicians, I don't trust the media. Much like unions when they were organized (unions piss me off also), there was a useful purpose for them. In my opinion, today's media spews an agenda from whatever corporation owns them. What happened to objective and truthful journalism?
I can see both sides of this discussion to a degree. But overall, I agree with Nicole's position.
