#1 I'm not an expert but I had a recent discussion with a well informed person that works in a hospital with my wife.

From what I understand the virus looks like the flu until the day before it kills you which makes it very difficult to diagnose or contain.

So someone with the virus gets on a plane and there is a chance a bunch of people onboard catch it and spread it before they even know they had anything. That is why you get these sudden bursts of infected in Italy, Iran, South Korea, etc.

So we need to:
* Find a way to recognize Cornoa vs flu so we can deal with it earlier
* Restrict/Adjust travel by plane and ship (could be everyone where masks, could be fewer on a plane, who knows)
* Wait until the spring when these sort of things tend to die off, at least until the end of fall.
