I happen to believe in the effectiveness of proven public health measures, and think it’s only prudent to prepare when a disease is spreading that has killed 9% of those in whom it has run its course. I’m not running for the hills or looking for a cave. I’m just saying that it’s better to prepare than not to prepare. If that’s what you call panic, then good luck to you.
This disease has NOT “killed 9%” of those infected at all!
