Well.. I still have to hear yet of a person who's been infected (or had a relative/friend infected) with severe effects of the coronavirus. It's been 5 months and I still haven't heard of a. single. one..
I know several people who have died from CV19, including one younger person who was in my year at school. According to a friend who works at the local pharmacy, we have had double-figure deaths just in our part of town.
I think you can count yourself fortunate if there are no cases in your area. Please don't underestimate this thing.

We've had much more serious viruses and diseases and nothing's been closed.
I'm not sure there have been any more serious viruses in recent memory, other than SARS and MERS, which the west managed to escape unscathed, due largely to a lower transmission rate. HIV too, but again much less easily transmissible than CV19.
