I prefer to wait until scientists find out more about the disease before I would classify media coverage as hysteria. As often happens, too many people are willing to speculate because there is no consequence for being wrong or right in the end. I have seen virus' come and go in Jamaica and all have been accompanied by hysteria at some level due to not understanding the difference between facts and suss. What is known about the coronavirus is based on a scarce volume of information and will continue to be updated as millions more are tested and when the ones who test positive are investigated to uncover even more who have or have had it.

I personally that that since a vaccine is maybe 18 months or more away, speculation on the spread of this disease is inexact and will probably exceed most current expectations anyways.

Yes that is true. In 18 months things will have ... stabilized.

This is only an issue for people planning travel in the next few months.

Is this an informed medical opinion or a gut response? I don't see any evidence that might be true. More testing will undoubtedly uncover more cases and, in some countries, they are either unable or unwilling to go to the extreme measures necessary to stop the spread.

Thinking that warm weather will stop the virus and similar attempts to tamp down fear are like whistling past a graveyard.

In my opinion...
