It's serious, but not "end-of-the-world-oh-my-god-we're-all-going-to-die" serious.

What is your opinion regarding people getting reinfected and it being worst the second time around?
Do you think we will see massive shutdowns like in China.
Is it worst than the flu?
From initial talks, it acts a lot like TB where the virus would "wall" itself off to protect itself from the body's immune system so it can reinfect again.

Have you heard or any news about the in the UK announced instant (or at least) fast tests being implemented soon?
As now the amount of people tested and especially the cases that are tested seem to skew the numbers quite a bit. And as we all can notice that causes to much uncertainty with a lot of people.

Is this different from the Chicken Pox virus that, as I understand it "hides" from the immune system.
It sounds like you don't think it is airborne (aerosol), since you are comparing the transfer to TB.

We've received the same briefings from the CDC.
They are taking it seriously.
To the point where ED staff is instructed to triage while patients remain in their vehicles.

Do you know any more details of the 9 day life of the virus on surfaces?
I work for the post office and we are still delivering a ton of packages/parcels that originated in China.
They have not said anything to us at all.
