That's not exactly what they said...
They said, a mask is not currently recommended because it's not
spreading..... that's very different from you don't need to wear a mask.
"CDC does not currently recommend the use of facemasks among the general
public. While limited person-to-person spread among close contacts has
been detected, this virus is not currently spreading in the community in
the United States. "
How do we know the virus is not currently spreading? It has a, as you
said, up to 10 day incubation period... and that assumes the condition
is either made aware so we test it, or bad enough they check into a
hospital.
Someone who is asymptomatic or who is not bad enough to check into the
hospital will go on spreading it happily to others.

The incubation period is most certainly not 14 weeks. It is probably
more on the order of 5-10 days. That is why they are isolating potential
victims for 14 days; well beyond the suspected incubation period. The
CDC does NOT believe you need to wear a face mask

maybe it's not the flu?
2019-nCoV has a*14 week incubation period*... meaning spreading is
happening before people even know it -- thus making this particularly
dangerous.
In about the next two weeks we'll have a much better picture on what's
going on and what's going to be going on, but on CN and elsewhere in
the world.
The problem right now is it takes 14 days to incubate and about 7 days
to get a report back on a positive/negative test culture, so there is
a very long lag and we are currently sitting in it.
Now I ask you: is the reason there have only been 2 fatalities because
the health care systems are not yet overwhelmed elsewhere?

You don't have to "trust" the Chinese, but you can probably trust the

fatalities outside of mainland China.
Just stay away from bat soup.

So let me get this straight. A virus that is not a big deal has
caused China to:
Send the president into hiding
Build several emergency hospitals
Lock down major cities
Extend the CNY
In some cases barricade people in their homes
Daily fumigation of streets
Crematories running 24x7 to burning the dead bodies
People being forcibly removed from their homes and taken into
quarantine
Suspicious deaths around doctors revealing information
Extreme China censorship even to U. S. online forums
China has also sent out a blank response to their citizens for
anyone dealing in international trade. If asked how things are going
they all respond with extremely similar answers about how everything
is contained in Wuhan and things are fine. Literally down to the
same wording in cases.
Tell me. What does China know about this “not a big deal Virus” that
we don’t that they are willing to risk their economy?

This thing is being overblown in a big way. First, the fatality
rate is below 2% (which is pretty low as far as these things go).
Second, the infectiousness is fairly low as well; somewhere between
1.5 and 3 (measles by comparison is rated at 15).
So the virus is not all that infectious, and it is not all that fatal.
Fear driven journalism.

Pretty much all the prediction models of global pandemic have
been wrong. Recoveries are out pacing deaths. It hasnt spread
outside china beyond the two people who had sex with people who
had been infected in china. theyre offloading a cruise ship in
New Jersey today apparently so our numbers will have a small
jump. Its a 3rd world respiratory illness. chinese air is the
dirtiest on the planet.
I have a tool that shipped out of Wuhan a few weeks ago, i will
lick it when it gets here and then come breath on people.
UBNT probably is dropping because theyre not a CBRS LTE Player
and theyre kind of stagnant in general right now

I don’t follow UBNT but I would have to guess it has
something to do with the Wuhan virus and the fact that all
their stuff is made in China?
I have been tempted to post asking if any WISPs are starting
to stockpile equipment that might be in short supply this
year. I know China will try not to let the virus impact
their manufacturing and exports, but it’s hard to see how it
won’t. It could also spread to other countries in the area
that do a lot of electronic component manufacturing and
assembly work. I have already seen some predictions that TV
supplies may be affected.
