    This is a statement suggesting relatively static analysis. New York has
    some (5 allegedly confirmed, the last time I checked) cases. By a simple
    population pattern diffusion model, I'm anticipating that San Francisco and
    Oakland will, too. I live close to both of those towns.

    I agree that panic is a bad idea. But I'm not going to be visiting Grant
    Street (AKA "Grant Avenue"--the gateway to San Francisco's Chinatown)
    greengrocers until this blows over. I'm going to settle for chain-grocery-
    store ginger and garlic.
