Why does it have to be extremes on both ends...panic or carefree? What’s wrong with planning and making adjustments based on available information? Just because the future is unknown, doesn’t me we shouldn’t think about it. It’s a sign of maturity and responsibility to think ahead.

There’s going to be a lot more cases now that testing has picked up. But even if it doesn’t, that’s a terrible mortality rate

And I’m not one of the alarmists

Especially when a big percentage of the 10,000 were already at death's door for reasons wholly unrelated to the virus.

The media did a huge disservice to everyone on this.

Weakening our awareness for when the real killer comes.

WHO fricked it up by playing a PR game. Which sucks because that was one of the only useful things in the UN now.

China fricked everyone instead of nipping it in the bud.

But bleeds it leads yo!
