Saw Dr Marc Seigel on the news this morning and he says is is *possible* the virus could start to disappear as the weather warms like SARS did....

The 'warm weather' angle was mentioned last month &

quickly challenged by many professionals.Having a 'doctor'

go on national TV to keep repeating *possible* is kinda/sorta nuts.

That's basically what he said. That it's possible but they don't know for sure how this will act. He didn't just throw it out there, he was asked about it.

Well, I guess travel will be limited, no mass gatherings, some will get sick, some will die as it is happening now.

I suspect those who 'asked about it' are running in the same

camp as the one who originally wrote about it. The weather angle

is an old narrative...those who 'ask about it' need to move on.

At this point, the virus has infective both Northern AND Southern

Hemispheres...warm & cool weather...so at this point, 

weather doesn't have anything to do with it...as pointed out

a month ago.

I am hoping it will burn out like SARS.  If it does, I hope we see it soon.  Dr Anthony Fauci has been on tv updating on the situation.  I would focus on what he has to say for some reassurance.

Thousands of people die from influenza each year.  Where's the panic for that?  Relax.

• Yes what about all those killed in car accidents. Where's the panic for that?

I think it most likely will especially in more heavily populated areas.

@goldensrbest  I'm afraid too! 

However I'm really hoping and praying that this whole thing fizzles out in the spring.....now that would be a great "what if"!!

I guess all we can do is just move through our daily lives as normally as possible, be extremely vigilant about frequent hand washing and avoid crowds and/or crowded places as much as is reasonably possible. This virus (and who even knows what else is circulating in the air right now) is spreading, no getting around that. We just have to hope for the best and deal with the worst. It's kind of a ******-shoot when you really think about it. Will I get sick? Will I be lucky enough to avoid getting sick? We just don't know the answer to those questions but we need to stay informed and prepared.

And I am not being a smart alek, but why wouldn't it, is what I am thinking. Yikes.

Now, I guess it is time for me to stock up. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
