My wife was at doctor’s appt. today and he told her there were folks that probably have it at the office (which is a quite large one in a large Birmingham hospital), now - but they have no testing material.

He told her, and I’m paraphrasing: “Look, we are probably all gonna get it. If your healthy, you should be ok, but it will hurt quite a bit of the elderly and those with reduced immune systems (cancer patients, those on certain medicines, etc.).”

This is being handled terribly by the gov't as well as employers, and most if not all of the US population will contract it. If China's experience is similar to ours, 20% of the elderly population who contracts to virus will die, and the numbers will be as high or higher with those who are medically immunocompromised. This is going to kill many people. This particular virus is much more contagious than normal, and the US is doing little to nothing to halt its spread. Yeah, everyone or nearly everyone in the US is going to get it.
