    No, the total does not equal spreading like wildfire.

    The multiplicative growth seen on a daily scale does equal spreading like wildfire.

    I agree. But we can test many different strains of flu so if one comes up that isn't known then they should be able to narrow it down quite easily.

    Trump may have thought it was contained when he said it was. I still say it's not a big deal, but that doesn't mean I think we should push the issue and say "f it, if it gets me it just gets me." Just like the flu, pneumonia, chicken pox, measles, mumps, etc., it's not wise to crowd people together until there's a vaccine.

    and thus the reason this could get serious, if no one works, society could shut down for a bit, which is why preparing is important

    imo no doctor is going to tell patients to go into a confined space with crowds to get their exercise, not now, not for a month or two yet.

    I am prepared and so is the nation for anything. I save money, keep food in my house and gas in my car. Nothing new

    You got that right. They're downright giddy hoping more Americans become sick so they can blame Trump!

    Okay. Social distancing then prior to exposure, hoping to prevent or minimize exposure.

    Same same as always. Everybody's got to chart their course and do the best they can with what they got.

    It shouldn't bother anyone much except those over 60 in bad health and taking medicine for underlying conditions, e.g., diabetes and heart conditions were two I heard mentioned this morning.

    Listen!
    Trump's demeanor when talking about Corona virus may be a little condescending, I get that, but what wrong moves do you think he made? MOVES not words.

    It is more than "condescending".

    He is downplaying the threat (to the detriment of public health).
