Because thousands of people worldwide have died from it already and we still have no vaccine for it?
But people shouldn’t panic about it regardless.

Cuz it's spreading too fast. A husband and wife died here, and they had no travel history abroad. It's causing so much distress not only to their families but also those whose household include old and vulnerable people.

Get a look in what's happening in Italy. People are trying to learn from them and are keeping themselves on lock down.

You could unknowingly carry the virus and kill older members of your family.

Because it's very serious and going to lead to a lot of deaths.

Because it’s the unknown. But its effects on the markets are very real. I lost something like $13,000 from a portfolio in three days. And I’m not rich. So people were in real danger of being wiped out financially because of the panic. You can say what you want about why people “shouldn’t”, that they’re being “irrational” and “overreacting”, probably truthfully. But the facts remain.

Because we have no real leadership where this is concerned and the panic is a symptom of that fear

It's spreading all over, no vaccines, governments not prepared, symptoms can lay dormant, etc
Most Young & healthy people should be fine.

Because that senile crackpot, the impeached Baby-trump was told to declare it a national emergency, two very big words.

25,000 people died from the flu last year in the US alone.
About 5k have died worldwide from CoVid19. In the whole world.
A 100-year-old man recently recovered from CoVid19. He also had Alzheimer's and heart failure.
Why panic? Because people are idiots, that's why.

@uncalled4 Buying years worth of toilet paper is stupid, yes.
The people I know in the medical field are preparing for war.

@QuixoticSoul I think I feel the worst for businesses like restaurants and clubs. They are not prepared for a hit like this. It only takes a few lean weeks to shutter most places. Mark my words: more than a few places will bite the big one soon.

It's already pretty serious to begin with and the media added fuel to the fire as always.

Because it does not have flu in the title.If it was called Chinese Flu people wouldn’t be so bothered.

We are are bit more medically advanced than we were in 1918.Spanish flu killed millions.The world survived.
Carry as normal until your government decides to imprison you.

I had some days I needed to take from work and since my kids are on extended spring break I took my family to our secret underground bunker, I thought it would be a good training experience for the whole family.

Because a combination of things make this just about the most dangerous health crisis most people have seen in their lives.
Italy reports 2547 new cases, 250 new deaths, and 181 new healed. Today.

🤔....and the CDC reports that 20,000 deaths from the flu in just the US the 2019 - 2020 flu season.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@Jimmy2016 Out of 50 million cases. Do you want to have 50 million cases of this stuff?

Cuz we thrive on excitement and drama. Logic doesn't even play a supporting role when we get twisted up.

Because it's new, unknown and out of our control. People have always been scared of things they don't understand and can't control.
