Another article designed to scare people.

You just love projecting your ignorance: It’s an order of magnitude worse...for Asians.

“Another article designed to scare people.”


So, being complacent is so much better?

Sooner or later, we ARE going to face a huge pandemic. This time and this virus may not be it (and I certainly hope and pray that it isn’t), but being complacent ups the odds, because then people don’t take easy and simple steps to avoid the transmission of the disease, like washing one’s hands more frequently than usual. That one thing alone will cut the rate of infection dramatically...but not if you’re complacent and tell people “There’s nothing to look at here, keep moving.”

I see by replies to your remark others did not approve.

I was about to say similar to your remark.

The title says “could” infect 60%. Could, as in tomorrow it “could” snow, or tomorrow the stock market “could” crash. It’s a prediction.

Now this is more real than the climate change crap, but it’s still a prediction. And one of the purposes of the media is to scare people. Two cases in point, the media has been trying to scare people away from Trump and scare people about being dead in 11 years.

So my point is, your comment is 100% correct.
