Since when is fear a bad thing?
Fear is not synonymous with preparation.
Panic is not synonymous with preparation and planning

I wish covid-19 underestimators would stop using exaggerated language such as panic when trying to censor people who are just interested in preparing and planning.

You may want to stock up on these. I suspect a shortage soon with all the paranoia about.

My bad, they want me to register, no thanks. The links I posted work well for me. I appreciate the thought.

Italy is an aging, socialist country with filthy public spaces and socialized medicine. They smoke like chimneys too!

[narses]

Unreasoned fear and panic are bad.

[Repeal The 17th]

You really need to get a grip, dude.

[caww]

I didn’t register either....

Hot humid weather tends to kill these pandemics

However, Singapore which has hot, humid weather year around still has a number of cases.

Fear is not a bad thing.
It has kept the human species alive for thousands of years.

[narses]

They required me too, no thanks. But again I appreciate the data.

The way to stop the virus is what China and others have done, regional lockdowns for at least 2 weeks, preferably longer (4 to 6 weeks). After a few incubation periods pass, we can help those who get it. Otherwise, our health system will be overwhelmed.

Reading this you could congratulation the Chinese on their great success in halting the spread of the Coronavirus. Or you could accuse them of lying. Your choice.

You could either look at the Chinese numbers for no good reason or you can look at the So. Korean numbers to try to figure out what's really going on.

Your choice.

Panic based on fake news kills. Fear is a basic part of our nature, those who manipulate with fear are either stupid or evil.

Mildly ill - no need for doctor
Moderaltely ill - maybe doctor, maybe prescription, maybe extended home stay
Severely ill - likely complicating illnesses (chronic) maybe mutliple doctor visits, misery, maybe hospitaliztion or ER to rehydrate and stabilize followed by release to recover at home.
There’s a lot of room between mild and hospital stay.

No one goes to ICU? That's good, when my dad was in the ICU a nurse told me about half the typical ICU patients didn't survive. You have to be pretty sick to be in the ICU in the first place...

“The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%,” Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health at HHS, says. “That’s lower than you heard probably in many reports ... it’s not likely in the range of 2 to 3%”

[griffin]

I love the oversensitivity of society today.

Conservative snowflakes now can’t stand the idea of “panic” and “fear”.

Tell you what - if you’re not prepared to be quarantined in your house for 2-4 weeks, or more - YOU BETTER BE FEARFUL. Cuz I’m not bringing you any food or TP.

[griffin]

EXCELLENT graphic!

[j.havenfarm]

Hmmm. I suppose that depends on how one defines “exponentially.”

[Svartalfiar]

In fact, the crude death rate is statistically 0.

What? How does 3800 deaths and 61M recoveries come out to statistically '0'? My calculator says that's 5.9%, and even if we take their word that 80% of people don't even have to see the doc, never get tested, that gives us another 257M in that category. Which is still a death rate of 1.2%, not very close to "statistically zero".
