A guy in Kirkland, WA. That makes a total of 1. That's minuscule compared to auto accidents, drug OD's, knifings, or the flu. While the number of cases is slowly growing, this is hardly a pandemic. It's just a media free for all. CORONAVIRUS

It's just a media free for all. CORONAVIRUSIt depends. If the lethality rate is 23 times that of flu (and it's likely to be much higher in poor countries) and if it is every bit as contagious as flu (or more so) then, it could be a big deal. They say populations over 60 are most at risk, which means guys like a lot of us here.

There’s no reason to not take this seriously. There’s also no reason to freak out.
It would only be akin to an auto accident mortality rate for a world where 23 people own cars.

Can we blame the governor of Washington? Really no different than Trump being blamed for every bad thing that happens.

This: A spokesperson for EvergreenHealth Medical Center, Kayse Dahl, said the person died in the facility in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland, but gave no other details.

It didn’t. I’ve read the patient referred to as a he and as a she. No other details appear to have been released.

I think they said he was 60 and had pre-existing health problems, IIRC.

They’re referring to the patient who died as a woman.

Cautious and informed yes, panicked no.
Statistics...numbers that 90% or the time can be made to say 10% or less of what they actually mean. I don't think most of the countries reporting the stats are telling the whole story. Agree media is making a huge deal of this and the stock markets around the world are responding, but is it worse than the flu, measles, shingles, etc? If reports about the Korean Air stewardess are correct containment failed. For most of us that listened to our grandparents talk about disease and our parents didn't run us to the doctor for every sniffle I think we'll be fine.

In his 50's. The article I read didn't say how his health was otherwise.

More suspected cases in Kirkland Washington. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-usa-cdc-idUSKBN20N11EOfficials from Washington said on Saturday that two of three confirmed coronavirus cases in the state had links to a long-term care facility in the city of Kirkland, and more than 50 other residents and staff of the facility could be symptomatic.
It was unclear whether a patient who died from coronavirus in Washington - reported earlier on Saturday - was connected to the facility. The death was of a male in his 50s with underlying health conditions, according to officials.
Jeff Duchin, a public health official in Seattle and King County, said that 27 residents and 25 staff members of long-term care facility Life Care had “some sort of symptoms.”
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Blown all out of proportion and reality by a media and dhimmicrat party that has weaponized the story to harm Trump. CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 32 million flu illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 deaths from flu. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm
