First, it would help to put the coronavirus in context with the history of the flu.
Yes, we need to respond to control the coronavirus out break, but the efforts can be limited, because many if not most walk around without showing symptoms. It's history will be similar to flus and it will likely be with us like flu in cycles in the future. There will be more infected and more deaths worldwide including the USA. The facts are the current trends in death rate are lower than the flu in previous years, and nothing remotely close to the ~50,000,000 deaths in the 1917-1919 flu.
The best we can do is develop the vaccine, use common sense measures to control the spread, and also reject the trend of Trump;s efforts in reducing the funding to the agencies responsible for controlling these diseases and increase their funding.
