Folks, it's the flu. We don't have a cure for the flu either. You catch it, you feel awful, your immune system fights it, after a few days the virus runs its course, and then you're fine again. The people who are die from the flu are some combination of old and already infirmed. Same as coronavirus. And every year something like 10-15k people die from the flu but we manage to keep our cool. The disconnect here is really wide. I'm not worried about the coronavirus, I'm worried about all the alarmism and the overreaction it might cause.
