What we are in danger of witnessing, is a priority inversion - when we should just have two measures of 'global panic'. The priority is, of course, to stop a 21st century plague from happening. When/if such an event occurs, it will have a vast effect on the daily life of millions and millions of people, whether they are infected or in danger, or not. Social fallout from mass panic is almost as dangerous as an actual viral plague could be. They've happened in the past, because people weren't prepared - so sure, we should not be lying about it. There is responsibility to have a survivable world, after such events occur - governments plan for recovery too, not just prevention and control - so the panic of the global populace, at scale, is one thing that can have a massive effect on whether there is a society to rebuild 'after the cure is found'. The point is that folks should be observant that there are two massively dangerous potential events occurring here: 1. Coronavirus, and 2. Agitprop/Counterprop being used to re-shuffle the world economic scene, prematurely as it seems in some cases, but preparedly in other cases, too.
