I 100% agree with the WHO and CDC warnings. From your link: > Containing the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic should still be everyone’s “top priority” I agree. But the WHO also has an issue with people's insane reaction which are hurt

It's odd, the safer our societies become, the more fearful people get. I used to live in a 2nd world country and it seems people were less fearful there, even if they had more to fear. It's like we collectively somehow miss having
