I know this is rocket science for a lot of people, but, the defensive barrier (so to speak) needs to be set up further back now. It's *not* like we've passed some sort of 'point' that marks 'the end of the world' in terms of the spread of this disease. We are the *best* prepared we've ever been in history for such 'contagion'. So is the world for that matter ...
Honestly Jim, I don't see how. The only way to be truly prepared is to have thousands of hospital beds at the ready for such a case as an epidemic, which is not what we, or anybody else, has now, or can afford.
In the event that the disease became widespread, the hospitals would be quickly filled, as they are right now in Hong Kong and Toronto, leaving the rest to their own devices.
