The Vice President and others in the fed government wouldn’t be giving daily briefings if they didn’t think this would affect a lot of people this year.
They're giving daily briefings because the 24 hour news outlets are out of control throwing around the latest "breaking news" without context or even basic sourcing. It's not political per se it's their basic appetite to fill the news with sensational reporting. The best reporting on this is on CNBC Squawk Box (5a to 8a ouch) as they do a good job of connecting the virus to the impact on our ives and pocketbooks.

What's the threshold on the number of US deaths as a result of this outbreak that would cause you adjust your outlook that this is just like Ebloa? 25? 100? 1,000? 10,000? I'm curious where folks like you, Zork and the rest of the Ministers of Information might draw the line here.
Some number north of the number of people who die annually from the flu.

My liver enzymes are elevated and I don’t even drink that much. At least they’ve eliminated the cause being something really bad. My left hip is giving me trouble and it’s starting to become an issue.

Random observations from a frequent flyer....
People are not sneezing and coughing all over fellow passengers (people are f**king inconsiderate idiots). You just don't hear the random nasal launch or coughing fit on planes. Are sick people doing the right thing and not flying or are the suppressing symptoms in order to not call attention to themselves?
United has suspended distributing the over heated hot towels in business class.
Over last 3 weeks planes are not full and terminals (other than IAH) seem to be a lot less populated. LGA's lack of travelers is pretty amazing. It could be seasonal but United is flying regional jets between IAH and LGA of late.
In related news....
Wife and I have a cruise booked (our first) for September. Its basically Amsterdam to Boston via Norway, Iceland and Greenland. Go or no go date is in June. We're still in but wavering. We'll wait and see.....
