Sure I believe that the virus is here and that it is serious. I wouldn't be surprised if my neighbors had it, and I might have had it a week ago judging from symptoms, but so what? I'm staying away from at-risk groups like the elderly and immune-compromised, I have enough food and water to last a few weeks, and I'm not running out to social gatherings. But I also believe that it is not an excuse to suspend the Constitution. Jesus man open your eyes, a lot of people died for those rights and it's insane to throw them away over a momentary panic. The markets crashing is overdue IMO; things have been overheated for a long time now and a correction has been expected for awhile. It had may as well come as a result of herd behavior rather than market fundamentals, and I say let it ride. Like the old adage goes: be greedy when people are fearful, and fearful when people are greedy. Also, the Hajj isn't until July this year; it's not surprising that Mecca is not crowded, and closing it for most business at this point in time is not beyond the pale in a global sense.
