Here are some facts about the Chinese coronavirus:

218 - confirmed cases in Massachusetts
26 - confirmed cases in New Hampshire
0 - deaths in Massachusetts
0 - deaths in New Hampshire

Look, I am not saying that we should be carefree. But you have to admit that to effectively close Massachusetts and New Hampshire because of 244 confirmed cases is severely overreacting. That's 0.003 percent of the combined population! All I'm saying a more metered approach, that did not wipe out huge sectors of our economy, notably the restaurant business, would have been a much better approach.
