I used to work in a hospital lab and I agree with what you have said here. This isn't fear porn, it's being told like it is. Nobody knows at this point how this will play out, but when people start coming into the ER or the doc in a box stand alone units, this thing will really spread. The trouble with it is it presents as so many other viruses do- fever, aches, sore throat, stomach trouble, vomiting, diarrhea- it could be anything. The long incubation period is the kicker and we all seriously need to be taking precautions right now. Washing hands, stop touching your face, use bleach wipes to wipe down tables, etc.

I think his post was very honest and accurate- read into it what you will. Hospital labs only have so much equipment and even the bigger hospitals with the big bucks only can handle so many of these types of patients at one time. If it breaks lose, the hospitals and doctor's office will be inundated and a breeding ground for more people to catch it. Be watching the news in your area and if you have any doctor, nurse, EMT friends, ask them what they are seeing- best indicator for your area.
