[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anthony Fauci, a world expert on infectious disease, was just on CNN sounding realistic.
No cause for panic. Wash hands.[/quote]

No by all means we should cease doing anything and crash the economy to avoid a virus no worse than an nasty cold for most people [/quote]

Who did you hear that from?[/quote]

Everyone who is literally canceling all possible plans and forgoing regular activity! There’s a reason the markets crashed this week [/quote]

No who told you that it’s no worse than a nasty cold?  Surely not the 3000+ people who have died.  Turn off Fox News.[/quote]

Out of how many people who got it! Yes, doe 99.98% of people who contract it it will not be a big deal. [/quote]

The problem with this line of thinking is it’s individually centered. IOW, typically American.

While it may be like a bad cold for you so you will continue with your normal activities- work, shopping, parties, travel, school, etc. You will continue to pass this onto to many more people. People who may not fare a lucky as you or perhaps their kids may not or their parents may not.

You may survive barely scathed, yet you may have contributed to the deaths and/or very serious illnesses of others because of your lack of precautions.

That’s why containment is so important. It’s ridiculously difficult to give up our freedoms temporarily for the greater good of our communities but it’s the only proven method that has worked so far. We have no medications for it, no vaccine for it. We don’t have hospital resources for it.

Look at Washington state right now. They bought a motel to provide a make shift hospital. Has that ever happened because of something “no worse than a nasty cold”?

+1 Also 99.98 is way off.  80% of individuals may not require hospitalization, but how many of those in those in the 5 villages in Italy will not have lost at least some family members or friends?  Same here.  Your community could be affected if you don't take precautions.  [/quote]
