Interesting.  I'm still at a loss on this.  We keep hearing the threat is low but the actions taken continue to ramp up.  Voluntary business closure?  Restaurants and bars closing?  We're rapidly approaching a shut down that will only leave supermarkets open.

This thing is threatening the US/Global economy and we don't have a REAL REASON why such actions are being taken.

I still believe this is a weaponized virus that got loose.  I still believe that examination of the thing reveals a real threat of mutation into something more dangerous.

In short I think someone has looked at this thing and is worried that we're looking at a Spanish Flu part 2 scenario.

Germany is to shut its borders with France, Austria and Switzerland from Monday to stop the coronavirus spreading
