Well the US is working on a vaccine, so apparently they don't think anyone is crying wolf.Wolf! Wolf!
Don't be silly, no one is crying wolf, it is simply a news item that concerns many people. I think China is to be commended for acting on this very serious health threat to their people and letting the world know about a potential health problem. There has been no human-to-human transmission yet but that slight mutation in the virus could become a serious world wide problem. It's good to get started right now developing a vaccine because it takes months to develop a vaccine and ramp up production.Wolf! Wolf!
Good on China to have posted the genomic data so early; CDC is working on a vaccine right now using that data. They seem to be learning their lessons when it comes to sharing crucial medical data.
