There is a question about CDC double speak.
It is in reference to this paragraph:
"The potential public health threat posed by COVID-19 is high, both globally and to the United States. The fact that this disease has caused illness, including illness resulting in death, and sustained person-to-person spread in China is concerning. These factors meet two of the criteria of a pandemic. It’s unclear how the situation will unfold, but risk is dependent on exposure. At this time, some people will have an increased risk of infection, for example healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19 and other close contacts of patients with COVID-19. For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low at this time." link
1) The CDC is seeing what we see globally and it looks bad. For instance, look at South Korea, Japan, Iran and Italy. Exponential growth.
2) There is no sustained human to human transmission in the U.S. at this minute. No one knows how many people are actually infected in the U.S. It appears there are not a lot of people hospitalized who are ill with an unknown pneumonia. Some states like Florida will not release the stats on how many suspected cases they are testing. It seems we will know only when there is already a confirmed case who may, or may not, have wandered around for two weeks while mildly sick.
3) The CDC knows that pandemic modelling shows at least as many people die from collateral damage as from the disease itself. That is - people who are ill with another disease and can not get treatment in a pandemic situation - and violence. TPTB are terrified of pan ic. All of us can see the videos of a $50.00 off sale on televisions during the holidays. Complete pandemonium. So government officials want to warn people but not send them into a pan ic.
For me - I read the first sentence and that is really what they are saying. The last sentence is not pertinent. We do not know who is exposed to the virus until after an infection is discovered.
