Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

[adey67]

"Everyone" is not freaking out.  Some people may be, so the news is obliged to tell them the facts, that it's okay to eat at Chinese restaurants and so on.  Most people are hoping to minimize the deaths, and that's all.

The world needs to stop with the seasonal flu comparison it's completely inaccurate at the moment. In time it might be a highly accurate but not now, eg: how many seasonal flu infections produced the figure of deaths in the Meme can you even equate the two at this early stage?? I think not, at the moment it's a false comparison.
