    Not to mention, the death rate at the epicenter is currently 2.87%. So you have a 97% chance of living if you are in the epicenter which is one of the most impoverished places in China where nobody knows what's going on.

    You do know scientists can share research, right?

    I remember when SARS was supposed to be the end of mankind.

    Then it was bird flu.

    Then it was swine flu.

    Then it was ebola.

    Then it was west nile virus.
    Why does it bother you so much that some want to be more concerned about it than you?

    That's just strange to me. Nobody is lecturing you to be more concerned than you are.

      It doesn't bother me to a certain extent. Depends on how much you are concerned. If you are going out buying surgical masks and depleting resources, then I think you are taking it overboard. I was actually trying to calm down concern giving statistical data.

        I don't understand how you picked out that I have concern when all through out I've been stating I'm not in panic mode, I'm in wait and see mode.

        You don't need to concern yourself about calming me down, thanks.

            The media doing their best to muddy the waters on the mortality rate statistics does not help. "You are nearly three times as likely to die if you are 50-59 vs 40-49." As opposed to saying 0.4% vs 1.3%. Doesn't sound as scary, unfortunately.

              I just got the vibe you were trying to calm me down, if not, I stand corrected.

                Agree, I think part of this is media driven fear and panic.

                  It's all word games. Just throwing around random numbers.

                  "You are 2% likely to die."

                  "You are 98% likely to live."

                  Both are true. One sounds a lot better than the other.

                    I'm bothered because the media is participating in some pretty pathetic fear mongering.

                      Yea, I already got that since you’ve posted about it in several threads.

                        I'm a regular watcher of MSNBC and haven't heard anything close to fear-mongering. There are some pretty pathetic CLAIMS of fear-mongering.

                        Of course, it should be reported that it will go away when the weather turns warmer or by a miracle that will happen in a few weeks.

                          If you watch cable news regularly you are likely used to mongering of all sorts. Probably doesn't stand out as much.

                            So tell me what stands out to you.

                            Coronavirus will disappear one day ‘like a miracle’

                                The news is all about fear. Not saying the coronavirus isn't something to be cautious about.

                                But this is incredibly overrated per usual.
