Most people who contract the novel coronavirus 'will experience mild to moderate symptoms, and their treatment will be to remain at home, treating their symptoms, the way they would a severe cold or the flu,” HHS Secretary Alex Azar said.

From CNN’s Caroline Kenny

The Coronavirus is spreading, and the economy is taking a hit. Markets have fallen because of uncertainty. The Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health must be given all of the resources necessary to do their job free of political interference.

I treat my sever cold or flu by going to da club - dance it away !!!

coronavirus is a BiologicalWarfare between USA n China, after China lended in the dark side of the Moon. The USA want to destroy the second economy of the world, the Chinese economy. 2 bad we are living Science Fiction in practice. Now Americans R getting sick 2.

What about folks with no paid sick leave? Who will pay their bills while they remain at home treating their symptoms

What a colossally ignorant and dangerous lie. They need to go to the hospital and get an EXPERT TREATMENT and be QUARANTINED so they do not infect people around them. They may very well die if they stay home and spread the disease.

The united states needs to introduce legislation that requires businesses to have reasonable allowances of sick time or sick leave. Without that, people will continue to go to work sick as they can't afford to stay home.

Is that trump? He's working not golfing on Sunday. That's a first!

These fools don’t travel out of DC. In South America now and the height of awareness is so much more in line with the reality of what is happening. This talk of low-threat, don’t worry - is not in line with what the rest of the world is thinking.

so why do they ban people been to China or Iran in the past 14 days getting into the US?

Crazy!Please save them,everyone should be cured in the right way!Everyone don't warry about the expense during this period in China,it's the advantage of Socialism.The government of China will not abandon anyone who couldn't afford the cost.

Wow! Did the US just classify COVID-19 as a just a severe cold or flu virus? There is no need to panic but downplaying it is so ignorant and irresponsible.

Democracies Are Better at Fighting Outbreaks

哎,美国的医疗体制是该反省下了,但是其背后的经济结构导致的社会分化才是罪魁祸首吧?

We're fucking doomed...

First honest thing I've heard out of CNN for 3 years

Amazon is still allowing vendors to price gouge for supplies on their website

The risk is low !! And everything to protect the American people is being done!!😁😁👏👏👏 Pay no attention to the leftist fear mongering!! They are an embarrassment to the country!,😝😝

if u stay home,it wont stop spreading。BIG lesson Wuhan has learnt. Thats why Wuhan build 30 temporary hospital for mild patient.

So, if people stay home if feels like flu or cold, but not sure, don't report or be tested for CD19, how will CDC numbers be accurate?

and what .....wait at home to die?

If 5000 people catch it based on Italian figures a few hundred or more will die.

When I have a severe Cold or Flu I go to the doctor to get Antibiotics, not just stay home. But the less people that go to hospitals or their doctor the better for realDonaldTrump right!!! That way it looks like is not affecting us.

As far as these men are concerned, it is simply not a problem if thousands (or even millions) of poor people die. Hell, let the virus kill off what’s left of the middle class! Only rich people matter.

Why panic because of a hoax?

5 idiots all in a row, biggest one has orange skin!

The word from China is; The spread is definitely slowing along with the % percentage death rate which is trending down to be, just a bit higher than the Flu

OMG Seriously! So HHS Secretary is basically stating someone died of a 'severe cold' in Washington state?

In general the best remedy against adults panicking is to educate them and keepthem informed. Clearly not what Trump believes in!! His mantra? “Keep’m dumb, stupid and ignorant!” Why? Otherwise they start asking difficult questions!

yeah only 15 to 20% will need advanced medical care (i.e hospitalized) and the R-0 factor is only fourish...no problemo

tell that to the thousands of dead people in China.

I have cold like symptoms, a runny nose. Should I go the ER on a bus?

When your boss tells his dumbed down base that Covid-19 is just another democratic hoax, you have a bigly SERIOUS problem SecAzar .

well what a stupid thing to state in a pre-pandemic situation.

Researching worldwide stats regarding Coronavirus and the regular Flu and then looking at the comments on this CNN post like.....

This is not the right way to stop the spread of COVID-19. We should learn a lesson from China. Wuhan government did exactly the same thing weeks ago and fail to stop the spread among family members, that caused tremendous case increase. The two cases in Chicago is a good example.

I guess this is the option when you realize you don't have enough respirators at hospitals to accommodate those in need?

Wow...being a former lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry doesn't make you a doctor Mr. Health Secretary!

According to current experience, contactor of confirmed case can emerge severe symptoms, even the symptoms of confirmed case are mild.
