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.

Oh Gracie, sure you understand the intent. Dr Fauci is being generally praised as a steady hand who has been careful to only present to the public well sourced best information available. There have been photos taken out of context that seem to show him distressed at comments made by others at press events. There are some who have contrasted his approach, not saying he knows more than anyone else or grading himself as to the choices he made, with others.
So now it becomes important to say, Dr. F said X and he was wrong. Thus if you say Person Y said A,B,C,D... they are all equal and no fault should be found or even suggested. Translation, stop praising Dr. F it might make somebody else look bad. And the fact that you can figure out who that somebody else might be is informative.
