#Roommates, the deadly coronavirus outbreak is definitely not getting any better—in fact, things are continuing to progress so much that the Center for Disease Control has issued a strong warning for Americans to remain safe.
The coronavirus has proved to be a worldwide crisis and with each passing day it becomes more of a threat to Americans. According to @Complex, the CDC has elevated the coronavirus concern level for Americans due to the highly contagious disease’s outbreak in several other countries. Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the Head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases division, said earlier this week that Americans should prepare for the possibility of potential disruptions in connection with the coronavirus.
Dr. Messonnier indicated that possible prevention methods for curbing the spread of the disease include temporary school closings, telecommuting and more. She also added this about the coronavirus in a recent press conference:

“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illness.”
According to the CDC’s latest update on public health response measures in America, the coronavirus is still “not recognized to be spreading in U.S. communities.” While also noting that the symptoms are “similar” to those associated with influenza and as a result, the CDC is urging people to receive the influenza vaccine.
Roommates, what are your thoughts on this?
