some thoughtful replies have helped me clarify my thoughts I don't mean "health scare don't care lol" I mean "sure it's an issue but all you can really do is be little more rigorous about hygiene, there's no sense panicking. wash your hands and carry on (until further notice)"
agreed and the regular flu is a killer. but who’s to say if freaking out is the reason the toll remains lowish
managing this sort of thing is complex - there can come a point where freaking out does more harm than good, and I’m always kinda sensitive to that. Not saying I have the right approach, or that there is One Right Approach, just- https://twitter.com/sharanvkaur/status/1224194059406700544?s=21 …https://twitter.com/sharanvkaur/status/1224194059406700544 …
i think the general concern is not being any of those 33 people, which enough concern to take basic precautions(increased hand washing) helps to do. there’s also reducing spread, as even contracting this virus is undesirable(causes lung damage)
in public health, there is a concept of unseen consequences. the primary reason public health depts(at least in US) struggle to increase funding is that people don’t see the damage of things that the PHD is preventing from happening
The problem is it's both possible that it will disappear and kill very few people, or that it will end up everywhere and kill millions. So people who work on disease control are rightly doing everything the can. The rest of us can just do a bit of prep and hope for the best.
What level/type of prep seems most rational right now (anything beyond hand washing and awareness)?
I think the argument is about potentially exponential growth. Viral things mean this could be 10x or 100x as big. (We don’t know if it’s horrrible yet but a small change in transmission rate can lead to order of magnitude worse effect.)
My friend has a trip planned to Singapore and was considering canceling it because of this. (Layover in China?) I urged her not to overreact just yet and still go. It feels irresponsible - what if everyone is right!? - but I sort of subscribe to the law of not living in fear.
How long is her layover? I have a layover this week in China and scared af tho
