Not at all... follow best practices... wash your hands (before and after restroom use, before and after food prep or touching money), stay home if you're sick and for employers emphasize this and work as well as possible around the issue. Don't panic.
In the end, it will spread, it will kill, and the only thing panic does is make things worse. If people washed their hands more and stayed home when sick instead of working through it, that's the most you probably should do.
- natalyarostova 7y agoI disagree. Containment still seems to be the correct course of action, which requires drastic up-front measures to prevent millions of cases simultaneously. You might disagree with that strategy, in which case that's fine, I think you're wrong. But you're mischaracterizing that strategy as panic. e.g. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2020/03/from-a-scientist-coronavirus-pictures-to-ponder.html https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2020/03/fr...
- tracker1 7y agoStaying home when sick isn't containment?
- nocoolnametom 7y agoSure, and those few days before you become symptomatic but you're already beginning to be contagious to others you're also staying home?
- natalyarostova 7y ago(not to say some people aren't panicking. Which they of course should stop doing).
- natalyarostova 7y agoIt's not sufficiently containment, due to the high incubation time, there is transmission amongst many who do not think they are sick. That's a property of this virus that makes it different.
- paulryanrogers 7y agoSlowing the spread helps too. It provides time to prepare and reduce the load on the health system.
