And take away any threat from the current virus and look only at the generic threats out there everyday and your risk is even less.

    Do what you may to feel safe, that is your choice. For me, I have never worried about anything like this and I'm sure not starting now.

    My only concern is from a financial perspective. I've lost a lot of money over the last three days.
    Was going to post pretty much this same thing.

    Everything will be fine.

    A very very large % of the fatalities involve people that are considered high risk anyways, so the average person really doesn’t have anything to worry about at the moment.

    Of course I think the MSM’s reporting
    is currently a little bit over the top;
    but:

    •So...It’s the: “Death Squad” for those
    that are not an “average” person?
    How considerate.

    Re: How to avoid germs - Gas Station

    Fact is, we have NO idea how many cases are in the U.S. at this point. Today, my state's health director estimated that there are probably 100,000 cases in the state right now, based on a 1% infection rate and 10M people total.

    One can argue the reason why the U.S. is not testing en masse right now, but clearly the consequence of that is we are not ID'ing the infected and isolating them, which is the only way to control/contain the virus. And this is going to make the outbreak here much worse.

    The governments own data puts the number of confirmed cases of covid-19 (which is a mild to moderate flu) at a little over a thousand. The number of flu cases so far this season, again using gov't data, is somewhere between 34-45 million (close enough for gov't work I guess). So, if my math is correct, that means for every confirmed case of covid-19 there have been at least 34,000 flu cases this season. The fatality rates are in line with a typical flu too, and in some countries much lower, yet we're in panic mode because it's been been politicized to the nth degree.

    This should be called "Coronagate".

    1. I ABSOLUTELY believe this was a manufactured virus.

    2. Funny it's out during the riots AND an election year.

    3. I 100% believe this was the nasty stuff we all had over the holidays. So we basically all got it already. The symptoms are the same and the fact people got it again is consistent with people being able to get the COVID-19 again.

    Just my 2 cents.
    FYI- still not panicking here or going out and buying up all the toilet paper.
