We worry way too much about the wrong things - distant plagues instead of our own personal health. We use toxic shock media to distract ourselves from presence in our own life. We're manipulated by actors, foreign & domestic, who use high-valence bait to sucker our attention.
I’m glad that China is now acting strongly. I'm glad the tiny number of actually-exposed people in the US (PUIs) are tracked, quarantined, tested, and monitored. That’s sensible, practical, and worthwhile. That’s our circle of control.
I’m glad the CDC & WHO obsess, worry, debate, and study things like nCoV. That’s their job, and I thank God they exist & are funded. There's clear black swan risk & it’s critical that professionals be tracking, crafting countermeasures, and de-risking for the humanity.
But you don’t work for the WHO. You've never been to Wuhan. Probably you don’t even know anyone who has. You aren’t part of the mismatched team of stubborn weirdos working on the real problem. You’re just a free billboard for any news that pattern-matches “exciting movie plot”.
Ever laughed at preppers? Congrats, you’re one of them now. Sneer at anti-vaxxers? Congrats, you now share their category - you’ve let your mind be hijacked by overblown concerns about small but real fears to your own personal detriment.
Want to save lives? Give to an EA fund https://app.effectivealtruism.org/funds . Want to specifically stop flu deaths? Go volunteer at a clinic & reduce the 10k/year American deaths. But that's not what you want. You want some cheap distraction because it's easier than working on your life.
So what should you do? Learn your circle of control. Work on your own life first. Over time, choose a plausible way to efficiently help humanity and push forward steadily. Ignore or douse outrage fires in yourself, family, and community.
Discipline your thoughts towards what is true & useful (https://twitter.com/patrissimo/status/1222581191481548800 …). Serve as an example. Take your info diet seriously and cut sources with any trace of poison. Quarantine yourself from toxic, contagious memes.
(Sorry if this is cranky - I have the flu 
)
1. I agree that many people in the U.S. are too afraid for no reason. You don’t need to wear a mask unless you’re trying to prevent seasonal flu. 2. There is still a chance that nCoV becomes a bigger deal or even a really big deal, which inevitably increases background fear.
