So, the flu is also been out for decades. Did we say people were stupid for going to sporting events, parties, or other public outings??

No? Then I think the idiots are those that denounce these kids.

Honestly, the numbers we are seeing with regard to this virus, even in places like Italy, don't seem to justify the level of hysteria we are being asked to embrace. Either the government knows something that they aren't telling us, or this is all overblown. Well, don't ask us (especially the young versions of us) to panic and run and hide if you're not going to give us the information that would justify the panic.

A fair amount of this Wuhan Flu freak out appears to be virtue-signalling at this point. Oh, you're concerned and worried, well I'm more concerned and worried than you are because I'm a better person! Oh yeah, well I'm freaked out and we're all going to die because I'm smarter and even better than you!!!!

And, perhaps more disturbingly, it seems as if a fair amount of the indignation at young people on beaches and what-not is based on the fact that they are not blindly submitting to draconian orders from the government.
