K2020.. Hey, we may be all wrong and it fizzles out, but we may be all right and millions die. By all means feel free to run around shaking hands with as many strangers as you want and hang out in hospital emergency rooms if you like, but that isn't going to kill the panic millions of people are feeling as I type this.
Right now we're facing a very real possibility of economic collapse the likes of which few people have even faint memories of from the great depression. If that happens, and I'm not predicting it will it'll be no consolation to tell us it was no big deal. Your very livelihood and maybe even your life may depend on how you act in the coming weeks, months and years. Nobody gets a grand prize for being the most smug during a crisis.
