Just wait for Hospitals to be overwhelmed by the number of cases, and people showing up demanding the healthcare they paid for dearly.
How long will civilized conversations go on?
Just a reminder for people on how this compares to the flu:
1 - Death rate for flu around 0.1%. For this coronavirus: 1-2%: .
Do the math.
The only way that holds is if the virus doesn't spread in the US.
Do the math
Captain Crunch is more dangerous to public health than coronavirus.
Have you seen diabetes rates lately?
Let's all be honest, a senior pandemic/epidemic right now might not be a bad thing?
Fact is most our healthcare costs are due to keeping people alive that should be dead.
The stock market has changed its mind and no longer seems to think that coronavirus is the end of the world.

All of us are fools for even wasting time discussing this, unless you want to make money off of it.
Just a reminder for people on how this compares to the flu:
1 - Death rate for flu around 0.1%. For this coronavirus: 1-2%: 10 to 20 times more lethal.
2 - R0 (how transmittable it is) 1.3 for flu, 2-3 for coronavirus : i.e. much more contagious.
3 - For the flu, around 1% of cases are severe enough to lead to people being hospitalized. For coronavirus, 13.8% cases are severe (meaning probably hospitalized), 4.7% are critical (Critical cases were those that exhibited respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction/failure). I don't look forward to experiencing respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction/failure , even if I survive.
4 - we know the flu, and we know it will abate in March April. We don't know what will happen for coronavirus.
Do the math.
Trump's USA - proving that border controls are more effective than "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony"
North Korea is suspiciously absent from that list.
R0 (how transmittable it is) 1.3 for flu, 2-3 for coronavirus : i.e. much more contagious.
It will just be slowed and minimized. The main problem initially will be the overwhelmed health services. Otherwise we will just have to learn to live in a world where you have a small chance of being killed by a cold.
Scientists and 99% of Doctors: Wash your hands, stay hydrated, only wear a mask if you're sick, please stay home if you feel you're getting sick. This doesn't really kill anybody who isn't elderly or immune compromised.
Media: ZOMG ALIEN VAMPIRES FROM HALLEYS COMET?!
That alien vampire was hot as fuck, best part of that movie.

Lifeforce, one of my fave B classics.
It's slowly dawning on me that this thing just isn't going to be stopped.
It's more contagious than the flu and no one tries to stop the flu.
China tried with draconian measures and still failed.

According to Harvard's lead epidemiologist yesterday interview on CBS millions will die. Higher risk in the older age group.
Your estimate is off approximately as follows: 100% * 5,000,000 / 8,000,000,000 = 0.06% ± 0.03% of the world population.
That opinion is beyond uncivilized to barbarian and indecent.
We also know that millions of people in the US right now have the flu. 11 have corona virus. Do the math.
