It probably already is there. One woman escaped the quarantine in Wuhan, still flew to France and bragged about it online. Thank goodness for the French that she was stupid enough to talk about it and that there was outrage over her behavior by Weibo users, else no one would know they already have a Petri dish walking around Paris. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1231898/coronavirus-latest-chinese-woman-france-sneaked-in-infected-corona-virus-wuhan-weibo

all europeans know that france is basically like a swiss cheese, time europe drops the french euro

LOL what's this supposed to mean? But yeah, it's practically just France and Germany dictating the EU, whose sole purpose seem to be to prevent the two from going to war with each other again.

20,000 dead last year from the flu and not a peep, a handful of folks in China catch a cold and everybody loses their minds!

It's coz this virus is "novel". Basically no one have resistance to it so it's possible for it to cut swathes of people unchecked, especially with its long incubation period where it can spread undetected.

There's no vaccine for it like what is released every flu season. If it hits you you better hope you get support to help your body fight it off, which could be hard once hospitals get overcrowded once everyone calls sick.
