Is All This CoronaVirus Panic Even Warranted?

Not invalidating anyone else’s fears or feelings but I can’t find myself to be afraid. I honestly don’t feel to do so.

Regardless of what the media is saying. Regardless of how many people are acting a fool at airports, grocery stores and so on.

Something’s off.

Panic isn't useful but people also need to know this is no joke. Some are saying the mortality rate is 2% or as high as 3 to 6%. Sounds like small fry. But people suck at conceptualizing numbers. In the US alone on the low end that is just shy of 2 million potential deaths. Then there is the secondary health risks associated with secondary diseases resulting from a system that might not be prepared to deal with that many dead bodies at once. Just think about how badly things get gross from NYC sanitation going on strike for a week. Plus you have the side effects of an economic crash. This could be a really really rough year.
