I am quoting one of the posters on this thread who I agree with.;

"The quote was taken out of context. At the same time he did say we have to take it seriously and do everything the CDC recommends. . A month later he said - The risk of coronavirus in this country is still relatively low, but, as I said about the possibility of emerging into a pandemic, this could change. As of today, on the 17th of February, the risk is really relatively low. But we, the public health officials, have to take this seriously enough to be prepared for it changing and there being a pandemic.

So the bottom line was, they were watching it, in the event it did morph into something bigger, which of course, it did. "


I am confused by the original post on this thread and don't understand the point the original poster was trying to make.
