That’s why they have released a list of “at risk” people.
A lot of the known/celebrity type people, do not really fit the at risk profile, so you’re probably correct.
I probably won’t die from it, you probably won’t, a lot of people won’t.
However it does pose a risk to a large chunk of the population. Children, the Elderly and Ill.
At the moment, I’m pretty sure influenza killed 200 people in 2019. So while we aren’t at those levels yet, if global precedence is anything to go by, we could soon well be in a few weeks time.
The media has definitely contributed to things. But fear is human response to being made aware of the situation. Humans themselves have increased fear and panic.
Government initiatives aim to limit the spread. You don’t have to comply. As we have seen with Italy, it can spread pretty quickly and while the vast majority will be fine, people will die and whose to say their life doesn’t matter if you can prevent it.
What’s the conspiracy? Why are they doing it then?
