Military Times: US military prepping for coronavirus pandemic
U.S. Northern Command is executing plans to prepare for a potential pandemic of the novel coronavirus, now called COVID19, according to Navy and Marine Corps service-wide messages issued this week.
An executive order issued by the Joint Staff and approved by Defense Secretary Mark Esper this month directed Northern Command and geographic combatant commanders to initiate pandemic plans, which include ordering commanders to prepare for widespread outbreaks and confining service members with a history of travel to China.
The Navy and Marine Corps messages, issued Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, reference an executive order directing U.S. Northern Command to implement the Department of Defense Global Campaign plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Diseases 3551-13.
The document serves as the Pentagon’s blueprint for planning and preparing for widespread dispersion of influenza and previously unknown diseases.

There was a scare for some disease in the early aughts. The WSJ ran an article about it. It compared Peru and Chile.
Peru got hit hard and Chile did not. The same disease that killed lots of people in Peru did not kill many at all in Chile. The disease mutated. Since it could not transmit or kill in Chile it mutated to be infectious but less deadly.
