Sorry if that's how it came across! Didn't mean to be insensitive. My point was that so far the coronavirus is not worse than the seasonal flu (400,000 deaths each year), where we don't see the same panic.


Sorry my post appears like a low effort dismissal, and I did not want to single out your post specifically, but I think there should be a middle ground between this is the end or this is a non event.


I agree — this is happening and people are dying. I just wish we could acknowledge the tragedy without creating a non-existent World War Z.
