      I did. But I have also heard conflicting things. Like the fact that the populations are higher of over 60 in these areas.

      I don’t know that it makes it less scary but I also feel like numbers are so misconstrued since there are tons of cases who are not being tested per guidelines which is stupid and may be recovering that we aren’t getting a fully accurate picture. And not everyone over 60 will die

      No. I agree. But I think that leads to some panic when testing isn’t being done to everyone. And it seems more cases are coming back negative than positive from the numbers I’m seeing. It’s so hard for me to panic and not panic all at the same time.

      There are multiple sources where the fatality rate is converging near 1% (and hospitalization rate much higher). Given how contagious this and how exponentially it's growing, parts of the US are a week away from looking like Italy with much of it just behind if it's not slowed.

      And I think I go back to other illnesses that are spread easily as well and cause complications and kill people as well. It’s not something to be taken lightly. But I also am not sure I believe it’s something to be in mass hysteria over I guess.

      I don't get the general healthy person hoarding a 10 month supply of toilet paper hysteria. But there's no real reason to think this won't be just like Italy in a week some places or more widely in the US in few weeks.

          Yes. I agree they need to be more cautious and senior events and things like that should be shut down. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any precautions. I’m not panicking. And everyone has different information or beliefs which is what made me ask why she was so worried now

          Compared to when this first broke. I agree it’s something we should take serious and try to limit. But I worry that we are causing more panic and maybe this is what is needed for a better system in general. For people to understand how serious not only this but other illnesses
