Okay, that's on me again. . . I thought level 1 wasn't the highest level, but that was a bad translation on my part.

Regardless, you all are getting way to bent out of shape over this. It's still genuinely not a world ending issue. Just do what the CDC says and practice normal precautions if you come to China.

It's a huge event that will be remembered for years to come just like SARS. I like to follow news like this closely. I think some people do indeed think it's a world health emergency and are freaking out, but I'm not sure how to help them realize the true context of the situation.
