Wuhan Virus scare has peaked

Not necessarily the number of cases or deaths per K, but the irrational fear.
The fact that this virus doesn’t impact children and barely impacts working aged folks is finally sinking in.
However, the media will still hype it for hits.

Kind of.
Certainly more-so than anyone you know.

That's not true. Just because they'll likely survive, doesnt mean they're barely impacted.

When this is all over, you people are going to look silly.
This is swine flu and bird flu all over again except trump is in the Whitehouse, so media is in full fear mongering mode.

When more widescale testing happens we will probably find that it is in fact not any worse than the flu.
The death rate in even China has plummeted to well under 1% now after all the experts told us it was going to be 3%.
Bunch of frauds the "experts" are.

All these precautions being taken such as cancelling classes/events could be the difference between us becoming Italy (awful situation) or South Korea (not so bad). But we’ll probably never know for sure. One thing I do know is that whatever precautions that are taken now there will be people saying it’s overboard, and if we get to an Italy situation everyone will be saying we didn’t do enough.

What if it mutates?

I would much rather have Wuhan Virus than either of those influenzas.

assuming it does get slightly worse, It'll be interesting to see what services get shut down. I'm assuming it'll be at least 3 months before the hysteria dies down.

No, I am an expert in recognizing liberal media and shite stain Democrats weaponizing and propagandizing anything and everything to try to seize power.
I'm also an expert at spotting shite stain Democrats on message boards.
We know, we know..."I didn't vote for Obama or Hillary..."

Those what ifs will all eventually happen. The oxygen will technically evaporate but same thing!

I hope not. Swine Flu killed 12,000 people in the US in 2009.

Look...any communicable disease CAN eventually mutate, but it’s not as common as folks think.
95%+ of mutations are detrimental to the mutating organism.
Evolution doesn’t follow a path. Rather, it uses the shotgun approach to see what works.
