Please share your source of info. Knowing the limits of a virus is kinda important.

Not losing sleep, but not ignoring it either.

forgive me if I don't buy into the sensationalized hype going around .
as I've heard this tune before

bird flu, swine flu, SARS, etc....

certain groups are at greater risk than others...sho-nuff ..same for all flues
but for the vast majority of folks, it's just "the flu" ...you get sick and get over it in a week or so

If you decide to soak yourself in alcohol, please don't ride!

The point of both articles was NOT that you could get the Coronavirus from Chinese made parts. The point is many of the factories making the parts in China are shutting down and PRODUCTION IS BEING AFFECTED, because the Chinese government is "encouraging" (whatever that means in China ) companies to not have employees travel to work, but work at home.

Hype ? 400+ dead, a break out on a Japanese tanker ship, China has a city in lock down with what they say us 50,000 people in if you believe what they are saying, which authorities here in the U.S. say if China give a figure multiple by 1,000 because you can't believe a thing they say Planes coming in from China with U.S. citizens being placed in quarantine when they arrive here. Nine cases here in the US. China shutting down factories and schools and refusing help from the CDC .. Nothing to worry about at all...
