It’s amazing how desensitized the masses have become to the MSM. IMO, common perceptions are usually wrong. 63% think it is overblown per CNN.
The big danger of this is not the fatality rate. It’s the strain it puts on health care and a consumption based global economy. Looking at it from a medical standpoint is a bit one dimensional. It’s a bitch from a systems perspective. What does it matter how good our healthcare is in the US if we are only staffed to handle a small percentage of infections. The rate of infection and our ability to contain it is the x factor for it not to become a disaster regardless of lethality. Conversely, if we try to contain it, what would it do to the economy.
