I guess countries like China, Italy, South Korea, all care deeply enough about our elections to react with such sweeping, but obviously unnecessary and overwrought medical responses.

Rice is reacting with an abundance of caution not because of the election year, but because an employee working in Keck Hall was hospitalized with the COVID-19 virus after being in the office/lab space. They are managing their risk and liability and covering their asses.

Can anyone explain why the response globally to COVID-19 appears to be so different than the referenced swine flu?
