This is what got’s me so freaked out. IF it’s a relatively harmless thing then why is the Chinese government reacting so strongly?

I guess we can say they’re just paranoid FReepers, and keep driving our Teslas like nothing is going on...or we can PREPARE.

What makes you think its relatively harmless? Have you been reading the horrific accounts about how the infected have been dying? The patients who are barely symptomatic whose lungs have turned to swiss cheese? Those who get “cured” only to get sick again? I don’t know, I’m a natural worrier, but I think people are in serious denial about the situation.

When a real panic occurs in China, people riot in big ways. There were large numbers of riots during the process of forcefully moving hundreds of millions of people there to cities for manufacturing...I don't know, maybe during the '90s and 2000s? It was in the world news quite a bit back then.
