Don't ignore the data.  It's pretty simple.  A vast majority of the population won't be truly affected by this  - either they get it and have a brief illness or they won't get it at all.  It's not a death sentence.

The people that I am truly concerned about our my parents and others who struggle with respiratory illnesses in general as well as people over the age of 60.  Everyone else seems to do ok even if they catch it.

I would encourage anyone to look at the data.

It has nothing to do with the data in regards to percentages and the demographic of who is at risk.  This is about an infectious disease that has no cure, no vaccine, can be transmitted by 100% of the population and is extremely dangerous to folks with underlying conditions - not just people over 60; anyone that has a jeopardized immune system is at risk, including pregnant women who's immune systems are lowered during pregnancy as to not attack their unborn children.

People need to stop comparing this to the normal flu or other infectious diseases and stop blaming the media / social media for blowing it out of proportion.  There's a reason the WHO, CDC and now our own government is taking action like never before.
