Lot of fear mongering here.

Within 30 days there will be a standardized treatment to limit death outcome for the majority of patients. The fear now is lack of treatment. Once they have a grip on that, patients will be sent home to avoid the over crowding that is seen currently. The only people being tested in the past 2 weeks were extreme cases that were symptomatic and had other health concerns, respiratory/diabetes/etc. Out of those, less than 2% passed. Understand this subset already had significant pre-existing conditions prior. The vasty majority of the country will have no issue with this virus if contracted. If you want to put yourself in a better position to deal with it, get your weight under control, exercise and get some sunlight. The people who aren't concerned, are those that have taken care of themselves over the years. It's not difficult. Don't smoke, limit alcohol, don't overeat and get some form of exercise. While you look at all of the negative outcomes, notice the athletes that have it and have had ZERO side effects? Actors that we know of, ZERO side effects. Try to recognize some of the positive.

It will mutate over the coming years. You'll get a vaccine that may or may not limit the impact, just like the flu is currently. A treatment protocol will be put in place and only the most vulnerable (who should be taking precautions) are likely to have severe impact. Even that group will be an incredibly small percentage. I'm not trying to downplay it, but the level of reaction is based on lack of agreed upon treatment. Once that happens, we need to get back to work. I argue we should be back to work anyway for health adults and hyper isolate the vulnerable populations so wed on't blow up the entire economy.
