That's what I've heard.
But it's so early that good info is hard to come by on how it's spread, incubation period, etc.
Imagine the panic if kids and the elderly mortality rates were reversed.

Are Italians fat? Don’t they eat a lot of pasta?

The ones who walk everywhere (in Italy, + the ones in New York that don't have a car) are not. The ones in Jersey who have a car and got shot while Journey serenaded the end of their tv series are.

The quarantined room could have a window fan pushing air outside that way air is entering the room from the house and not the other way around. Hopefully, you have 2 bathrooms so the infected has their own bathroom. If only one bathroom, the infected man could piss in a jug or baby toilet and only use the bathroom for dropping deuces. But if you knew the person was infected with Coronavirus for sure and it wasn't the common cold, then I'd think you'd want to give them the whole house. After what happened on the Diamond Princess, I wouldn't want to be in the same house with someone infected.

US soldier has it.
A USFK soldier stationed at Camp Carroll tested positive for COVID-19, marking the first time a U.S. service member has tested positive for the virus. We’re implementing all appropriate control measures to protect the force.

One pro-tip here could be to seek out the coronovirus, get infected, and if you survive there's going to be a whole lot of things you'll be able to do a lot cheaper than normal.
Cruises come to mind, but maybe some performances...disney world/land may be a little less populated. Maybe it's a frugal choice to get infected and then capitalize on all the discounted, low populated places.

Right in time for spring to kick in, temperatures to rise, and hopefully start to battle the spread of this.
It's about time global warming came in handy for something.

That hasn't been confirmed. There is a thought that someone got a false positive, got better, then got a real positive. The test accuracy needs to be solid to make this call and it wasn't and isn't.

CDC Updates:
From CDC press call: "Disruption to everyday life might be severe," says Dr. Nancy Messonnier. She said she told her children this morning, "While I didn't think they were at risk right now, we as a family ought to be preparing for significant disruption to our lives.”
More: "The data over the last week and the spread in other countries has certainly raised our level of concern and certainly raised our level of expectation that we are going to have community spread here." [Source](https://twitter.com/juliebosman/status/1232347657332576256?s=21)
Outlook for coronavirus in the U.S.: CDC is "preparing as if we are going to see community spread in the near term," says Dr. Messonnier on media call. [Source](https://twitter.com/juliebosman/status/1232351586925645824?s=21)
From BNO - U.S. CDC: "We can have community spread in the United States and have it be reasonably mild, we can have community spread in the U.S. and have it be very severe. So that's what we don't completely know yet." [Source](https://twitter.com/bnodesk/status/1232360016079917058?s=21)
U.S. CDC: "We're asking folks in every sector, as well as people within their families, to start planning for this, because as we've seen from the recent countries that have had community spread, when it hit in those countries, it has moved quite rapidly." [Source](https://twitter.com/bnodesk/status/1232361367732183041?s=21)

At this point you’d have to be a fool to believe a word that comes out of that country.

And even it is, they've done by keeping everyone inside and non-mobile. How long that possibly last? You gotta figure as soon as people start moving back to their jobs, this explodes again.

We took our first cruise ever after 9/11 (over Thanksgiving) because most people weren't 100% comfortable floating around the oceans with 2000 others. Guess the same thing would apply here for much different reasons.
It was more expensive to stay at home...

I was thinking the same thing, except that a hospital wouldn't be overwhelmed yet, so you'll get good treatment instead of a cargo container full of other sick people.

I just bought some bulk dry food and TP at Costco today. My wife the public health professional got mad at me for giving into the fear. I didn't see anyone else stocking up like me. I only shelled out $200, but I figure that we could now last a month on the food we have in the house as long as the water, electricity and gas keep working.
We have no masks though...

She thinks that enforced social distancing here in the US is a ways off, and may never happen. She thinks I'm giving into fear and groupthink (from fbg...)
I told her that she's not an epidemiologist. That didn't go over well...

I also bought into the mania today.
I picked up a display chest freezer at Home Depot for a hundred dollars and bought 1-2? months worth of food. In the freezer I have 20 pounds of ground beef and 10 loaves of bread, along with a serious amount of canned/nonperishable food.
I live in a community that is 50% asian and I did not feel alone at Costco. I got one of the last remaining 50 pound bags of rice and toilet paper. Although I am sure they will restock. The lines were 15 carts deep when I checked out.
This is probably not the case in middle america though.

You know ... if you’re not on a Coronavirus thread in a message board somewhere, this stuff is pretty much off your radar. It’s happening “somewhere else”, somewhere far away. In China, in Iran, South Korea, Italy. Might as well be Mars.
It’s Mardi Gras time in New Orleans, so I’ve been to several family gatherings over the past few days. No one says jack about the coronavirus. Not even to make light of it.
It hasn’t been in the paper except for wire-service reprints. None of the local opinion writers have touched the topic. Local TV news is similar — stories from overseas, always “somewhere else”.
I would bet locally, at present, the masks and such are still stocked close to usual levels. Maybe that changes in a week or two.

There are no masks to be bought were I live, I have checked a few times over the last couple weeks. My parents bought some in denver and will mail them down.
