I have some mild congestion in my nose, so this is probably the end of me.

The story disappeared from CNN, but China says the U.S. is overreacting to the virus.
In news that seems related...Wuhan Virus deaths now outnumber SARS deaths.

This virus is currently having a huge effect on our company and the businesses we support. The only place we can get old electronic components like touchscreens, EL displays, integrated circuits and a bunch of other shit that was manufactured 20+ years ago is from China. Some of these companies have been on shutdown since before the Chinese new year and are now emailing us saying their government is shutting them down for another 3 weeks!
We've got customers that are losing $10,000+ a day from just one of their machines being down and they aren't so happy about it. So maybe we are overrating about the effects it may have on our health here, but the financial burden is surly being felt by many.

97 people died in one day over the weekend from it.
A cruise ship, with everyone on board, has been quarantined when 135 passengers were found to have it.
My youngest stayed home from school sick today, and I assure you the coronavirus crossed my mind once.

Two bits of good news.
1) "Only" 15% of patients with the virus get pneumonia.
2) Burger King closed half it's China locations, which should be a relief to the Chinese.

Trump says Coronavirus will be gone by April when the weather gets warmer
The president continued to suggest the Coronavirus outbreak, which has claimed 1,000 lives as of Monday, will be gone by April. He told the crowd that "in theory" once the weather warms up Coronavirus, which he referred to as "the virus," will "miraculously" go away. Trump did not offer any scientific explanation to back up his claim.

It gets a name
The coronavirus is now called COVID-19, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general at the World Health Organization announced during a Tuesday news conference.
"Co" stands for coronavirus, "Vi" is for virus and "D" is for disease, Tedros explained. Health officials purposely avoided naming COVID-19 after a geographical location, animal or group of people.
At fist, I thought TAG's name was the latin name for it

Yikes. Guess they'll keep issuing stat "corrections" until the epidemic is public.
