The US has a doctor patient non disclose likely being enforced in the only areas being tested All Dem states . . .
That does not apply to dangerous pandemics. And the political party has no say in the matter. See:
Legal Authority for Infectious Disease Reporting in the United States: Case Study of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic
Of the 50 states, 18 (36%) had disease reporting primarily to the state health department, 18 (36%) primarily to the local health department, and 14 (28%) to a combination of state and local departments. Only 9 of the 52 jurisdictions we studied mandated reporting of enumerated data elements only; a majority had authority to collect information more broadly and access to medical records for additional information (Table 1). Most (85%) required submission of specimens to the public health laboratory as a matter of routine for specific diseases or upon request.
Of the 49 jurisdictions (94%) responding to our survey concerning data collection on 2009 H1N1 cases, none reported problems collecting data on cases of 2009 H1N1 because of lack of legal authority.

doing some research on the researcher would be a better starting point.

Current status of US cases and other news about COVID-19:
Summary: Things are going from bad to worse. Especially in Korea. In Japan the officials botched the Diamond Princess cases to such an extent, I fear the officials are idiots. They left an elderly woman on board long after she developed symptoms. Soon after they finally took her off, she died.

This is part of Asian collectivistic attitude: they're many densely crowded, therefore individuals aren't so important - only society is. This explains, why Japanese officials are willing to sacrifice boat passengers in a fear from further virus spreading in similar way like Chinese did with their patients in Wuhan.

Personal summary: if you get Covid-19 and your condition worsens enough to be sent to ICU, your chances of surviving are the same as the chances of winning a coin toss. -

That's nonsense. Japan is not densely crowded. It has a lower population density than 23 other countries including Belgium, Israel and the Netherlands. Would you say individuals are not so important in the Netherlands?

In the countryside in Yamaguchi, Japan, I have walked on paved roads for hours without seeing a house or a person. In places like this:

Large tracts of rural Japan are empty. People disappear in the deep woods, lost or perhaps eaten by boars. In other parts of the country the bears are increasing rapidly. The government is trying to encourage people to buy rifles to kill off the boars and bears, which are dangerous, and deer, which are increasing rapidly, as they are in the U.S. east coast.

This may be right but consider that a) only the very sickest patients are sent to ICU and b) this was in China during the early days of the epidemic. Things may change, for the better or unfortunately for the worst.

they simply need to ask NRA to send more tourists

South Korea and Italy cases and mortalities are painting a very bleak scenario. Some people are hinting that next week will be the last “normal week” we will experience in a long time.
Perhaps is just me that am emotionally shocked and taking as a bad omen the fact that this morning I came to my farm to see how a very large flash flood had eaten a bigger chunk of my farmland than had already been damaged and since repaired the past year. This new flash flood chopped clean all the repairments I had done last year and then added some more significant damage (solar panels and irrigation pVC pipe damaged) this was more than 100 feet away from the maximum river level of last year.

England's population density is 82% of Japan's. Yet as far as I know, the rich twits there still hunt foxes, not excess people. As Oscar Wilde put it, the twits are the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable.

Netherlands didn't invent Kamikadze, Japanese did.

'Tis true. Although nowadays only by "accident", to (mostly) avoid legal troubles.

Event now unfolding in Italy, Japan and South Korea with show whether it is possible to contain an epidemic with modern technology. Decades ago, this was not possible. Containing it after a while was like "trying to stop the wind" as one expert put it. However, perhaps with modern internet based real-time information systems, it can be stopped. We'll soon see.

I don't think so Jed. People move around too much, and so does stuff. Phones from China, roses from Africa, onions from Mexico. Aeroplanes and ships full of people arrive constantly from all corners of the world. Medicine is the real hope.

Not within China, and not from China. Their air traffic has fallen by 13,000 flights per day. From 15,072 to 2,004. All arriving passengers from China are being quarantined by most countries, as far as I know. See:

If any silver lining emerges from this crisis, it will be the increase in internet communication replacing physical presence for business meetings and the like. This will reduce unnessary business travel, reduce fuel consumption, and make it a lot easier to hold meetings. People should have done more of this years ago. In Italy, they are holding a fashion show with no audience. Everyone who wants to see it has to look at the internet broadcast.
Naturally, I feel sorry for the travel, tourist and airline industry, which is losing tons of money. The airlines are expected to lose $29 billion in revenue this year. See:

Nobody is specifically naming Covid-19 as the cause, but as of this moment most future markets in the world are plunging hard, this is akin to the 2008 debacle.
