Fake? No. Overblown? Yes.
We need to look at the numbers and realize that it's not a very deadly virus, compared to an ebola. It's less contagious than other forms of SARS.
The problem I have, is we just destroyed small businesses and gave the world to Bozos.
This is pandemic is now being taken advantage of by politicians to control us and make us turn into them on the news daily. This happened when my generation was abandoning the traditional news.
The news is the main driver of this fear, but they do it every year. Bird flu, Swine flu, ebola, sars, west nile, etc.
What we have decided as a society, is the older and vulnerable population's are worth months-year of economic production.
Sucks for millennials who can compound lost earnings in prime years. Add it up and it could put us at a competitive disadvantage vs other generations.
Quarantine should never be acceptable, in my opinion. You can't tell people not to make a legal living, while allowing others to go on thriving.
