Jim, sorry you lost some friends. That's a terrible thing. The higher numbers of death in urban centers is no reason to lock down the rest of the nation. NYC, LA, Philly, etc are like living in a sardine can. Anything can spread quickly there. The seasonal flu has a higher mortality rate than the Wuhan. 99.5+% recovery rate from everything we've seen including the major cities. Another thing, the largest outbreaks are found around large international airports. Wonder if there's any connection there? (He asks sarcastically) Once again, if one falls into the demographic of the highest mortality rate then by all means stay home. If one does not feel well, stay home (that goes for any time, not just now). Crippling the economy and ruining businesses and the lives associated with them will be worse than the casualties the virus causes. Wait until food prices spike. Wait until the governors whine about budget shortfalls due to lack of sales tax revenue and they want across the board tax increases.

There's more to this than just an outbreak of a virus. My spidey sense is tingling.
