"... if your government is hesitating, these restrictions are up to you.
Stay put.
Do not travel.
Cancel that family reunion, the promotion party and the big night out.
This really sucks, but these are special times. Don't take risks. Do not go to places where you are more than 20 people in the same room. It's not safe and it's not worth it.

Exactly! What is wrong with the American people as a whole - they can't seem to get their heads around the risk/reward situation. When any kind of illness is running rampant thru the general population - you stay your ass home. It will pass....you can spend your time watching Naked and Afraid...or Honey BooBoo. 
would u rather no information , no restrictions , no precautions , and pray ? Diseases never defeated or restrained without knowledge and information . We have the means for information on these years . Unfortunately the stupidity caused extreme fears and panic . Would u rather a system that pets your ears and keeps u in the dark ?
All Americans are not responsible for the stupidity of the few . And many can handle information and bad news in an effective manner.
This is the country that when hiv become public knowledge , everyone lost their shit and demonized the gay folks . Let that sink .

Never forget the media is in the business of selling advertising, not informing the people or telling the truth. The more sensational the story, the more "clicks", the more "clicks", the more money they make.
Study the science, learn the truth. The mortality rate is only slightly higher than the common flu, and that is like all flu hardest on the elderly with other health problems.
Believe what you will, but this is not the " Black Death".
Do you remember the media panic about "Y2K?
@Boxdoc maybe if the public schools in USA were worth a damn , maybe , will had better educated people and people who can read AND understand science . We don’t have that type of people here . We have the consumers , the big sports fans , the church goers and and and and .. tell them to read science and understand information and apply critical thinking . Don’t tell me .
@Pralina1 Couldn't agree more. I recently read that some of the textbooks being used in the southern states are now being "revised" so that slavery is going to be presented in a kinder, gentler light....I believe one of the changes was that they would suggest that on Sundays, the slaves were allowed to have their church services and then "got together" for those great Sunday barbeques, etc. ????? ugghhh
