China Virus Threat 2020

I myself am wondering why the world leaders might want to be restricting travel of much of the population over the next few weeks.

Saying "you can't go here, there ,or the other place" would bring mass questioning. Declaring a medical emergency would require no cagey answers.

As it is, this "pandemic" has taken fewer lives and less hospital space than the normal flu strains. Every year we have some strain of flu that has the "potential" for world wide epidemic. Why choose this strain that has such mild impact at this point in time?

It is being sensationalized by the press world wide and is proving handy for personal restrictions and crowd control without real explanations.
