11. "Panic driven?"

Is any discussion at all of a threat panic driven? Saying that such discussion is "panic driven" is a type of suppression of news. I see no such panic in any of this.

They are bringing embassy personnel home and deplaning them in my backyard. Should I panic? No. But I want to know why they are bypassing LAX in favor of Ontario. When asked what was the plan, they said they planned to hold the people at the airport for two weeks before letting them go. Okay. That's fine. No panic. (I need to tell you that because my curiosity may be mistaken by you as panic.)

I think that the CDC is probably in high gear to fix this problem, but that they don't know everything about this virus, including whether asymptomatic carriers are present.

Something is definitely wrong in China. No panic, though. Just prudence. Evacuation of our Chinese embassy tells me that the CDC is concerned. Not panicked, just prudent. And, why can't we have a discussion and news sharing without calling each other derogatory terms, when clearly, our responsibility is to remind each other to wash our hands, cover our noses and mouths and turn away from another human when coughing?

By the way, people, you need N95 masks. No panic, just information. Best thing to do is stay home, if you can. But wash those pinkies very well. Handwashing is your new religion.

This will pass. Don't worry.
