According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the coronavirus is now at the point that it almost qualifies for pandemic status. Top CDC official, Dr. Anne Schuchat, said that the outbreak already meets two criteria for a pandemic,
Schuchat is the principal deputy director of the CDC and made the remarks in prepared statements. “It is a new virus, and it is capable of person-to-person spread,” she said. “If sustained person-to-person spread in the community takes hold outside China, this will increase the likelihood that the WHO will deem it a global pandemic.”
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said health officials would not “hesitate” to declare the outbreak a pandemic if “that’s what the evidence suggests.” On Friday, he said the WHO hadn’t declared a pandemic in part because most cases of COVID-19 were still traced to known contacts or clusters of cases, and there wasn’t any “evidence as yet that the virus is spreading freely in communities.” –CNBC
“CDC’s most expert and practiced infectious disease and public health experts are dedicated to this response 24/7 to protect the American people,” she said. “The agency’s approach to COVID-19 is built upon decades of experience with prior infectious disease emergencies including responses to SARS, MERS, and Ebola, and to pandemic influenza.”
“We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare for the expectation that this could be bad,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Schools should consider dividing students into smaller groups or close and use “internet-based teleschooling,” she said.
“For adults, businesses can replace in-person meetings with video or telephone conferences and increase teleworking options,” she added
Many other health officials within the U.S. have said this viral outbreak will advance to a pandemic, an some give it no more than 30 days to make that designation.
Within 30 Days, The Coronavirus Outbreak Will Likely Become A Pandemic
Based on how quickly this virus is spreading, it could very well become a pandemic sooner.
This is raising more questions about how much government intervention and market manipulation we will all see in the coming days.

Feb 9, 2020 Coronavirus – THT in 10 minutes

Putin is protected from the coronavirus. Is Putin trying to kill all world leaders with a virus that only he has immunity too?
Sputnik headlined that Putin is Protected from the coronavirus. Rachel Maddow will be investigating this suspicious Kremlin announcement.
Mike Pence went to a school in Florida shaking hands with students in a coronavirus region, dragging coronavirus into White House. This must be a trying time for Trump, who is already germophobic, in fact, it would not surprise me if this entire mass hysteria has the sole intention of psychologically torturing Trump, harping on his biggest fears in a never ending escalade of psychological germ warfare.
Regarding healthcare, Hastings (haste-ings) said, “There ain’t no rules here, we’re trying to accomplish something…All this talk about rules…When the deal goes down…we make ’em up as we go along.”
There is no formal setpoint, online, for what qualifies as a pandemic. Can you find one?
“High” is a subjective term or personal opinion.
Whenever the amount is “high”, in the opinion of some commissar, you have a pandemic.
Qualifications …. disease is spreading that could kill allot of people. Qualification one: Don’t take precautions nor stop in the beginning. Two: Wait till 10’s of thousands have it. Three: After it is going rampant then the CDC a non governmental agency who works for Big Pharma and vaccine industry will get major funding in the billions from US government. Four: Make sure the Elite are making a killing is stock market and metal drops and then cash in …… Five: American people and America gets screwed again.
Govt. officials can kiss my ass even when things are “normal”.
Howdy Y’all,
A particularly interesting article up at the Hedge currently,
“Scientists Discover More Aggressive Strain of Coronavirus Responsible For 70% Of Current Infections”
Aside from offering a potential explanation as to ‘why’ the infections we’re seeing outside of China (whose reporting is beneath contempt) very in their apparent effective level of virulence, the article also states that – now – there are about 160 strains (apparently) originating from the initial ‘Patient Zero’ case presumably occurring in/near Wuhan, China.
Furthermore, the article also states that the virus appears to be mutating at roughly a rate of twice per month. I would be VERY interested to hear from anyone hereabouts (ANON or not) with a background in molecular biology or epidepmiology which can place that last mentioned observation in context; I’m a mathematician, NOT a geneticist/life science professional.
Thanks in advance…
