I think with most of those it's harder to get in the first place. Especially something like West Nile. The mortality rate floats between 5-7% in the USA year to year and if IIRC even healthy individuals can have some long term affects. Ultimately I guess it comes down to how easy/hard it is to spread COVID19 and whether or not the mortality rate ends up being worse than the regular flu.

As a 30 year old on the healthier side I'm not that worried about it affect myself, but more the people I know that are very young or older.

Either way it's everywhere now so I'm not getting freaked out as new cases are found in X city. Every city in the world that has the capability to test, and will report honestly will have confirmed cases in the next two weeks I'm guessing.

So heard this morning that the town only about 20 minutes from me now has someone with it.

You and me both. I had to talk myself out of thinking I had it today because I woke up with a stuffy nose and a headache.

This is where I am. Not any more worried about it then getting sick in general. I don’t think taking the extra time to make sure you’re washing up is a bad idea and a good general precaution. Funny what happens when you’re thinking about your and others health.

Like you, more concerned for the older folks in my life and my son being in daycare, which is already a germ farm. Lol

We should be thinking about it, but we shouldn’t be paralyzed by fear. A little extra care never hurt.
