Bottom line is that we don't have all the information, but so far:
1. CoVid19 seems MUCH more contagious than the flu;
2. People can be carriers without any symptoms;
3. Many were probably infected weeks ago, before we began taking precautions, so the number of people infected could actually rise before it falls;
4. There are documented cases of people 100+ years old beating it.
5. Children appear to be unaffected but can carry/spread the virus;
6. Most of the deaths local to me were people with a considerable amount of pre-existing conditions.
7. I'm concerned that hospitals might get overcrowded, which would spell doom to others with all kinds of medical issues.
I'm all for doing everything I can not to spread this thing to anyone. That's all we can do right now and hope for the best.
