Okay, back to topic #1, could we maybe tone down the apocalypse? Hubei province has a population around 55 million. Infections are approaching 66,000, not even .2 percent. (Even if you limit it to Wuhan, 11 million people, less than one percent have an infection serious enough to be recorded.) And the death rate is a few percent of that.

On the Diamond Princess (again!), in close quarters, elderly population, about 20% infected, 4 dead. That’s .1% of the group.

I agree about reasonable precautions, but could we avoid the mass hysteria?
