Flu more serious, travel bans overreacting, aoviding handshakes is paranoid, closing borders doesn't help (save lives on net b/c more people die from that), asymptomatic spreading is great news, cancel travel only if sick, will peak April (possibly May), herd immunity yes.

"Closing borders doesn't help" Get help; you are practicing magical thinking. Viruses don't cross borders except when they do so as passengers. If you close borders viruses absolutely cannot spread - it's impossible.

Right, you're both ignorant and crazy The death rate didn't increase during the Great Depression and sealing borders against foreign entry wouldn't come close to replicating that OTOH, not closing borders led to millions getting locked in their homes - closed borders everywhere
