Your post really peaked my interest so I decided to search on the internet for information. From what I found (I could be mistaken of course), this proposal was in response to the governor's push to have inmates manufacture the hand sanitizer in prisons where inmates get paid $.16 / hr. The push back it appears comes from the businesses that will soon not be supplying any of this material to government agencies because there is no way they can compete when their competitor (the prisons) are paying $.16 / hr.
Therefore the proposed act is in defense of these other companies - to make the product more expensive so they can compete. The posts that followed yours relating to this seemed to indicate that this was another leftie bleeding heart proposal. . .
LMAOChinese communist party is upset that people are giving credit where credit is due for the SARS-COV-2 / COVID-19 / Wuhan virus.
Q: During a press interview on March 6, US Secretary of State Pompeo called the novel coronavirus "the Wuhan coronavirus". I wonder if you could comment on that?
A: Despite the fact that the WHO has officially named this novel type of coronavirus, certain American politician, disrespecting science and the WHO decision, jumped at the first chance to stigmatize China and Wuhan with it. We condemn this despicable practice.

Republicans face backlash over racist labeling of coronavirus
China says US politicians are stigmatizing the country with ‘despicable’ practice of calling the virus ‘Wuhan coronavirus’ and ‘China coronavirus’www.theguardian.com
I know the solution.. let's call it the "Chinese Communist Party Virus of 2019" - or CCP-virus-19
I live in Connecticut - about 50 miles from Lyme, CT. Ever hear of Lyme disease? No coincidence. . .

Over the weekend I read that it's now not OK to ask someone "where are you from"?
Note to self... be disinterested.

I started with Datek who was bought out by Ameritrade who merged to become TD Waterhouse and is now in the process of being bought out by Schwab and my account number has never changed. Doesn't much matter in a Monopoly money world anyway, eh?

Did they call the "regular" flu a pandemic? To answer the original question no I am not worried about the coronavirus. I am 76 years old and a prime candidate for it. I just take the normal precautions and be viligent.
This morning I was literally asking myself when the WHO was going to declare this as a pandemic. Based on the explosive numbers coming out Europe all I can say now is that was good timing.
They didn't call the regular / seasonal flu a pandemic because it can be treated. There are no vaccines for COVID-19. Only way to mitigate the spread is to call global attention and declare this as a pandemic. This way folks can take this a little more seriously. In other words, buy us some time, so that we can develop a working vaccine and should be ready in no time--> ~18 months give or take
