How are his comments irresponsible? All he said is that the panic is dumb. That's it. Are you are suggesting that people should be panicking? Which includes stockpiling, paranoia and racism disguised as fear of the virus.

What matters is the complex systems (and responses) that would be triggered by such death rates. Paranoia makes sense because it will keep us alive as a society. (regardless of individually questionable decisions).

That isn't "all he said"; you could try reading his Tweets on the matter: "Virality of C19 is overstated due to conflating diagnosis date with contraction date & over-extrapolating exponential growth, which is never what happens in reality. Keep extrapolating & virus will exceed mass of known universe!" This is just utter nonsense. It's gibberish, coming from a guy who uses the term "exponential growth" all the time when it comes to his factory production. Virality is a social media term for crying out loud. >Definition: A sudden, overpowering feeling of fear, often affecting many people at once It's your and Elon's opinion that people are panicking.
