Experts are starting to say it’s time to prepare for a pandemic, and that containment didn’t fail, containment was hopeless from the start. More communicable than SARS, more deadly than seasonal flu. Still remains to be seen how it plays out in countries with better (and worse) healthcare systems than China, but it’s gonna spread worldwide. Masks, thermometers and quarantine don’t seem to be magic bullets. Buy lots of hand soap, and stay off cruise ships.

It's likely that the number of people killed by coronavirus will surpass that of the 9/11 attacks shortly. Most frightening is that with its virulence, if uncontrolled it could infect or have infected millions or much more, then suddenly that 2% dead becomes unimaginable.

CNN and MSNBC would be advertising for the terrorists 24/7. By the time they were done with it, it could have killed zero people, and everyone would still be hid out in their house listening to their propaganda.
