- Healthcare workers won't go into work without proper protective equipment because they don't want to get sick.
- People working in hazmat suits in Italy and China prove this isn't the flu.
- Tim's guest predicts it could take a year for vaccinations to be developed and proven to work.
- We know far less about this virus than we're pretending to know.
