Raising awareness is good, but risks are always there. We always have a probability to simply die in the next few seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades... A different probability for each of those, and depending on circumstances either internal or external for each individual. We need to be aware of that and act according to it. Disproportionally reacting to those probabilities is never good nor logical.
That being said, yes, the situation is that world is facing a worldwide crisis in ways beyond just a financial one. The Italy example is perfect to know where we are all going... yeah, all developed countries. We were wondering what was wrong with Italy... and just a few days/weeks after we are at the same stage they were. Some countries are still in denial but they are raising awareness even if slowly.
But no, we are not all going to die. This shit will pass. You just need to adapt, neither ignore nor overreact. Otherwise we maybe should consider directly ending our own lifes to avoid being infected... which would be kind of stupid.
And if shit REALLY hits the fan... well.. it will also pass, the only difference is that all of our current first world "worries" will be all gone. Some will die, some will live. But life will go on.
Seconded.
On the other hand, most of us drive cars in public traffic, every day. Accidents at speeds above 30mph are potentially lethal. Additionally, most people i know that passed actually died in cars. Not from cancer, a flu or violence, nope. Car accidents. We risk our life every day. Second: Drugs. Not the nice ones, but mostly pharma stuff combined with other deadly drugs like opiates or alcohol. When you look at causes of death, ranked by occurances, and compare that with what most people fear to die of, it will leave you wondering (at least).
Set your limits, establish hygiene and prophylactic routines, stick to them no matter what. It gives you a feeling of (self)control and this is the foundation to stay clear and focused in times of trouble. Don't think ahead too much, but rather trust in yourself to handle the current situation in the best possible way, whichever and whenever it may occur. Always try to know what to do. It's the opposite of panicking.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and watch "Zombieland" both parts. It's just a horror-comedy movie, but it teaches the viewer about the benefits of developing rules and stick to them to stay alive. No need for developing compulsive strategies, though.
