In no way saying they don't matter. I'm saying it's overblown and ridiculous how scared people are, most media outlets have running 24 hour coverage of any snip

In no way saying they don't matter. I'm saying it's overblown and ridiculous how scared people are, most media outlets have running 24 hour coverage of any snippet they can scrounge up.
The authorities are taking care of it incredibly well, my main point was keep calm and carry on. Of course it will spread elsewhere in greater numbers, may even rival some rare ailments for deaths. Catching pneumonia is bad for everyone. A marginally higher risk of catching it isn't anything to stress about.
Would you like to talk about the 5000 people who died on the roads in China last week alone? Because I would. Do their lives matter as much here? It's far more tragic given that nearly all of them weren't suffering pre-existing conditions.
This is giant global experiment in human ability to logically discern risk and we seemed to have failed dramatically.
