'This Is Not Alarmism!'

Thanks to CNN for their quality journalism. This is not alarmism! I live in Iowa and a lot of people I know are getting sick! Please take precautions in public. I’m getting surgical masks for me and my family! You can never be too careful.
There are 64 confirmed cases in the entire US with no deaths, so it’s kind of amazing that people are dropping like flies in Iowa, where I don’t even know if you can order a decent burrito. They’re few and far between in Istanbul, I can tell you that.
In other news, do two simultaneous wars not keep these government people busy enough? It’s crazy. “Crass insensitivity” is probably one of the best two-worders I’ve heard in a while.
