re: I love this board, but it's wrong

Sadly we are likely only seeing the tip of the iceberg IRT financial impacts on many American households. As the virus spreads more holistic measures will be put in place (some impacted communities are already doing this) and simply personally adopted to avoid crowds - concerts, festivals, vacation destinations, sporting events, gyms, stores/shopping, restaurants, etc. Large and small businesses will feel the impacts. Their employees will feel the impacts. No demand, why stay open late or on Sunday, etc.? Why offer this service or product at the current level if no one is buying it at 2019 rates of consumption? People may see a reduction in hours/wages. Unfortunately many families do not have the financial capacity to withstand this for an extended period of time (i.e. weeks). The GOV needs to consider all options for financial assistance. Think outside the box, not just for big business, but for everyday citizens who will very likely feel the pinch as this unfolds. Not an expert by no means, but this appears to NOT be a one size fits all solution (i.e. rate cut).

Even the CDC said pump the brakes. Mass hysteria by who? The media - why else are the dims using it against Trump?

We can control it somewhat if proper precautions are taken while it's still early -- like right now. A lot of the people taking this seriously are getting mocked for being chick little skyscreamers, when we're actually wanting people to wash hands, isolate themselves when they're sick, and other basic things that everyone should be doing anyways.
We watched the disaster in wuhan and are now seeing northern Italy suffer too and want to avoid that to the best or our abilities. It's not the end of the world, but everyone should treat this more seriously than the typical cold or flu.

it's wrong
to dismiss cv-19.
What I see is pumping the brakes on the hysterical, panic reporting of the infection for political purposes.
That's a far cry from "dismissing" it.

humidity and heat reduce rate of transmission for viruses.
The flu exists year-round, but spreads more easily when it is dry and folks are indoors.

Does this general type of virus tend to fade with warmer weather?

I'm not sure how to address this. COVID19 will spread. It will kill.

But it is not "no worse than the flu".
The flu kills THOUSANDS. This is not going to be worse than the flu this year in America. It is not going to be worse than the flu in coming years. Hell, it's another aspect of the flu, for all practical purposes. Once the population develops some immunity and there is a vaccine, it won't even register a blip.
It is ONLY a news story for 2 reasons:
First, it is literally novel - new and unseen.
You know the second reason.

It's more contagious than the flu but only very specific groups have any legitimate concern about dying from it.
Agree with most of your post, but I haven't seen anything to suggest this.
What I HAVE heard is that Corona often has mild to no symptoms meaning people don't stay home from work, etc. So they can unwittingly spread the virus.
That does not mean that a person exposed to Corona has the same chance of contracting it as someone exposed to the flu which what I think of as contagious.
Maybe a nitpick, but I think that is an important distinction.

Also this forum seem less likely to be influenced by paid posters, which seem more and more common elsewhere.

The only reason the death rate seems high is because they haven’t done that many tests yet
I would also imagine that for any sickness where death is a possibility, would have a higher mortality rate when it first hits the public. There isn't a treatment for it, or any knowledge on how to treat the symptoms when it starts. As more information is gathered, and treatments (for the illness and/or symptoms) become regular the mortality rate goes down.
It should be understood that mortality rates will start higher early on, then decline.

If she gets this and it progresses from throat to lungs, that is pneumonia and our baby will not receive enough oxygen.
She wouldn't be the first woman to give birth with coronavirus. Why don't you look up how those went?
