For the last month I've watched this on CB. I don't think this would shock some of you but many Americans hate anything negative on the news so they simply don't pay attention.
I had this exact reaction with my first post about coronovirus in mid January. I stated it seemed pretty out of place to see Chinese medical workers in full bio suits dealing with this thing and there is no precedent in modern time where a nation shuts an entire region down to quarantine. But what did a number of posters respond with? Oh it's just SARs scare or the Flu kills more, blah, blah. Quit being a killjoy.
CB isn't any different then people everywhere. All my post originally was is "hey guys this maybe a big deal, any good ideas out there with how to prepare for this one?"
And once you get passed acceptance this is happening then it's easier to act and protect your family as much as possible.
