There is a difference between an epidemiologist doing their job and the media over-hyping the situation to deal with a slow news week.
The medical community should absolutely be in high gear right now. That doesn't mean the rest of us need to act like its an end of the world situation.
- moultano 7y agoThe medical community is asking us to prepare. You should be changing your behavior to reduce contact with other people, learning the necessary sanitation techniques, and preparing to be self sufficient in your home for a few weeks.
- oliwarner 7y agoAnd who are you to say if the media are "over-hyping" the situation? The medical community can call for calm if they think that's important, but from where I sit, isolating cases is paramount to stop the spread and getting a population ready for local quarantine situations seems fairly important too. You don't get there by sticking your head in the sand. It's not nice to hear, but perhaps we do have to hear it.
