I know that the gov't keeps telling us not to worry, that they've got it under control... and government competency and honesty and ability is top- notch.

Oh, I can't even TYPE that shit with a straight face.

If not for its exponential spread, concerns would be lessened. If not for the fact that two--- as of this moment--- health care workers who were presumably following gov't protocol STILL came down with that lil' bug, and if not for the fact that many in the field are saying that we don't know very much about this virus, then I'd be fine with reading the news reports about it as nothing more than morbid entertainment about somebody ELSE'S troubles.

However, there are questions regarding transmission and spread, there's a remarkably high death rate, and the only thing that seems to stand between us and the epidemic going nationwide is government- based response? Yep... my faith is weak.
