No, business as usual so far. They did release a statement today requiring people to self-quarantine if they have traveled, or been in contact with someone who tested positive.

The media is blowing this way out of proportion.
85% of people who get this virus have mild symptoms. Fever, coughing, sneezing. The remaining 15% also have shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Of those 15%, 2% have a fatality risk, 95% of the fatality risk is to people over 70, and people that already have a medical condition.

Our president has been for years stating that the US has been too economically dependent on China.
It's bad that it took the Coronavirus to prove this.
When he began imposing tariffs on China, the liberals predicted this "trade war" would hurt the US economy due to our reliance on China's cheap imports that we relied upon for so many years.
What happened instead was the Chinese economy took a hit, and the US economy surged to it's strongest performance in over 50 years.
The market has taken a hit due to the Coronavirus, but realize that when the president took office 3 years ago, the Dow was at 18,0000, It's still at 25,000 right now despite the hit...….7000 points up in 3 years despite the recent volatility due to the new virus.

With the huge surge the market had made to get to 29,000, a 10-15% correction at some point was going to happen anyway, taking it back to around 26,000.

27 people in the USA have died from the virus out of 327,000,000 who live here. Obviously there will be more.

Whenever your in a public place, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, do not touch your hands to your mouth, eyes, nose, or ears unless you have washed/sanitzed them first.

If you have loved ones in nursing homes, and you have any symptoms at all, do not go and visit them. This is what happened in Washington State, where almost all the deaths have occurred. Stay away from elderly people, and people with medical conditions if you are sick.

This too will pass. Risk is low. This isn't like Ebola, which was far more deadly.
