This one arose in China, but the next one will probably be somewhere else. Don’t count on any nation or peoples to be immune. The basic biology of pandemics is universally present, yes, even here in the good ol’ USA and possibly more so since we have such a large segment of the population without consistent health care.
Good thing the Trump admin is destroying the CDC and the USA response to communicable disease. Republicans know how to cut social programs to they can turn the tax dollars over to the rich so they can get kickbacks to pay for their reelection.
The Chinese do seem to be either over-reacting (all that ebola-quality isolation gear seems to be un-needed) or their problem is a lot worse than our experts think it is. For this one, the experts that I’m hearing, say wash your hands often, and don’t touch your face. A simple paper mask can be helpful, mainly to remind you not to touch your face.
