I do agree panic can do more damage than the disease. Just look at the psychotic behavior shown in China over the last 6 weeks towards the infected. I've been posting as many of those video clips as I can ferret out. Ukraine's response to a few busses was completely unhinged, too. We've even seen it in Calif, with sanctuary Costa Mesa folks who have no problem with illegals who may carry disease into their community (but allows them to wear shiny virtue-signaling badges), yet actually got a court order to prevent US citizen patients from being locked in a secure building for 14 days. Otoh, lulling folks into a sense of false security by discounting the disease as a 2percenter or old people problem or smoker problem can cause just as much damage. I'd much rather see people turn into clean-niks, carrying around a personal bar of soap to wash their hands and calling out the disgusting street spitters. :)

I agree. We dont have enough reliable information to really assess this, particularly not people like us, doing it second-hand on the Internet. But even in the worst case, panic is not going to help anybody.
Panicking wont save anybodys life and will make the whole thing harder to manage (in the worst case scenario). Actually, even in the best case scenario (basic flu with average death rate), panicking will make it harder to manage.
A little reasonable preparation - Vitamin C and zinc, which actually does help the immune system, and sanitation. I went and ordered several bottles and sprays of hand sanitizer, since they were already sold out at my local stores - and now Im looking for a source for good masks (make sure they go up high on the cheeks and dont let in a lot of air) since even the crummy masks are sold out locally. So obviously people beat me to the prep!
And if they have to shut down DC for awhile and those folks have to work at home and cant get together to plot in person, thats actually all for the good.
Current mortality rates of modern, honest countries are SK 1.023%, IT 3.106%, JP 0.588%, HK 2.381%
Approx 75% of of remaining cases are not considered “recovered” yet. Japan low percentage is probably because most cases were that cruise ship and many were sent back to their homeland(they didn’t die here, doesn’t count)
naa, not the flu
