Unless you have a very weak immune system or you are an elderly (50+) I wouldn't worry to much about this.

"Elderly". People work until their 70 in modern society.

This is frustratingly short sighted. I suppose you dont have anyone you care about over 50?

do you really think that Italy and China wanted to put a stop to their economic activity with quarantines for no reason?

  Sometimes politicians look good for having "done something" because there is no counterfactual to compare against to create accountability.

    Well China has cut their number of cases so they did something that worked.

      That's a broken window fallacy; how many people have perished because of degradation of infrastructural services? I don't think we'll ever know.

    but there is Wuhan before January 23rd and after, so what is it exactly that you have in mind?

By that logic, if you are going to spend time with anyone 50+, you should be equally concerned, yeah?

They need to create new IC beds at a rate of 200 per day right now. If you have anything else that requires IC, like say a ruptured appendix, you're just as dead if there are no beds than if you had ncov19. Also, I still have one parent and don't want to lose her.

More than one third of the Italian population is 50+, so if you are Italian there is probably reason to worry

Beyond the aspect that you probably have relatives that are 50+, observe how countries try to limit the spread of the virus, and consider what it does to the economy. And what it will do to your local economy. All of us will suffer from this virus one way or another, even those who manage to avoid catching the disease itself.
