Ask HN: Based on your personal experience, how bad is the Covid-19 pandemic?

The asian country I live in has very few cases due to lockdowns plus quarantines for visitors. Watching the news in Europe and the US, it is hard for me to get a sense of how bad it is. Do you know many people who have died? Who have gotten seriously ill? Are you afraid? Do you think the response in your own location is too little or too much?
