Exactly right!
When you stick to the facts, there’s no reason to be afraid. There’s reason to take sensible precautions, but no reason for undue fear.
But you’ve got half the country (the left) thinking this is weaponized smallpox and we’re all going to die, and a chunk of people on the right who are convinced President Trump is ready to kick down their door so Bill Gates can inject them with mind control microchips. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Wash your hands. Avoid crowds. If you’re indoors in public, put on a mask. If you’re part of a particularly vulnerable population, take additional measures to avoid significant indoor exposure to other people. Other than that, LIVE YOUR LIFE. The government isn’t coming to get you. Bill Gates isn’t coming to get you. There is no army of spies dedicated to watching you wipe your butt each morning. Just live your damn life and enjoy the time you have on this Earth.
There you go being all practical. Can’t have that.
What a mess we are in.
